Living Links to Human Biology and Medicine (360G-Wellcome-094440_Z_10_Z)
We have recently established the 'Living Links to Human Evolution' Research Centre in the heart of Edinburgh Zoo. 'Living Links' was designed to facilitate multiple Science Engagement activities with visitors from the 600,000+ who roam the Zoo annually. A Science Engagement Grant from the Scottish Government supported a first phase exploiting this potential, beginning to furnish a Science Exploration Zone and last year attracting an estimated 400,000 visitors to directly witness and engage with ongoing research and related activities. Our data show that visitors now spend longer in Living Links than normal zoo exhibits. To build on this success, we here apply for support of a second phase to enhance the scope and depth of Engagement, in ways of direct interest to the Wellcome Trust.
