After the success of our Bird Migration stand in 2018, Kate Rogerson and Marta Acácio from the Birds on the move team, presented their “Fly – The Bird Migration Game” again at the Norwich Science Festival 2019, with the help of volunteers Jethro Gauld and Valentina Zini. This is one of the largest science events in the UK and, in 2019, there were over 180 events on the 9-day festival, with over 137,000 visitors! Our Bird Migration stand was visited by more than 300 people of all ages.
Besides the stand, Kate Rogerson presented a talk “Migratory birds in a changing world“, and Marta Acácio presented a Soapbox Science talk “Fly another day: Spying on the incredible journeys of migratory birds”.
Kate Rogerson also had the chance to present her PhD work to Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, one of the headline speakers of this year’s Norwich Science Festival, at the opening of the New Science Building at the University of East Anglia.
