Many thanks to members of the HiROS research group who took part in the "Meet the Scientist" outreach event at the Birmingham Thinktank Museum last week. The group presented a variety of activities related to sound and resonance, results on "sounding stars" with asteroseismology, and a "create your own exoplanet lightcurve" activity, all of which proved popular with children and their parents.
The activity also linked in with an art-science installation running at Thinktank (supported with a grant from the Institute of Physics), which is the result of a collaboration between the group and sound artist Caroline Devine. Caroline recently began a 10-month residency in the School of Physics and Astronomy, supported by a Leverhulme Trust "Artist in Residence" award.
