Want to hear a cool fact one of our Creators learned today from a neuroscience tutor from @devneuro.bsky.social ? “Female zebra fish exhibit more aggressive behaviour than males do.” #neuroscience #DevNeuroAcademy #Outreach #Zebrafish #DNACreate

Day 3? -Smashed it! Project development has officially commenced. Our artist Charlie Murphey designed a highly dynamic and involving session. Creators got familiar with expressing neuroscience concepts via silk clay, painting, projector manipulation. #neuroscience #DevNeuroAcademy #SciArt

Our DNA Creators are half way through the week and are thriving!! Yesterday they transitioned into labs at the @devneuro.bsky.social and got first hand experience with authentic neuroscience model organisms. They touched on topics such as knock out mutations, gel electrophoresis, and microscopy!

6 July

This afternoon session is jam packed with #DevelopmentalNeurobiology and #Neuroscience themes through an artistic lens. Keep an eye out for our creations! #DevNeuroAcademy #DNACreate #KCL #art

🧠 DNA Create has commenced! We are beyond thrilled to welcome 2026 DNA Creators to @kingscollegelondon.bsky.social to explore neuroscience and creativity hosted by the @devneuro.bsky.social #devneuroacademy #DNACreate #neuroscience #PublicEngagement #Outreach

behind dna create is a team of researchers, creatives, and educators who believe science belongs to everyone. Today we're introducing the people who make the programme what it is. 👇 @devneuro.bsky.social #DNACreate #KingsCollegeLondon #neuroscience #PublicEngagement

30 June

something exciting is coming. 6–10 july, year 12 students join us at king's college london for a week where neuroscience meets creative practice. we can't wait to share what they make. 🧠🎨 @devneuro.bsky.social #DNAChampions #WideningParticipation

Happy Friday and Day 4 of DNA CREATE!!! Today the students will be presenting their projects at the Science Gallery 🖼️🥼

We have a full house this afternoon at the Science Gallery! Flash presentations have started where the students have the opportunity to present a brief description about their project and the work leading up to it⚡️⚡️⚡️

And that’s a wrap on DNA CREATE 2025🎉🥳 Check out some of the amazing projects produced by the students this week.

Day 3 has been busy, busy, busy!!! Students are focused working on their group projects! Excited for the exhibition tomorrow

Good morning and happy Wednesday from the DNA Create team! Today’s morning session is all about brains (literally) 🧠 Our students are diving into neuroanatomy and getting a firsthand look at neuroscience research, thanks to our incredible researchers at @devneuro.bsky.social 🤞🤞🤞

After lunch, we are taking some time do some reflection 💭💭💭

Now for some co-lab project development time!!!

Check out some of our students in action!

Day 1 of DNA CREATE is off to a great start! We started the morning with some introductions, ice breakers and reflection as we created our own self portraits🙌

Finally, we looked at behaviour via our judgement of time, how well can you time 60 seconds in your head?

We wrapped up the day with some much needed reflection to gather our thoughts and project time where the students met their teammates and tutors! And that was day 1 at DNA CREATE ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Day 1 of DNA CREATE is off to a great start! We started the morning with some introductions, ice breakers and reflection as we created our own self portraits🙌

We created our own cells in a dish using bubble cell prints. The resulting ink bubble mountains form patterns that approximate the organisation of an organoid

We explored the concept of signalling by translating one creative medium into another ... ever wondered how to translate a song into a drawing into a story and then into a sculpture?!

Day 1 of DNA CREATE is off to a great start! We started the morning with some introductions, ice breakers and reflection as we created our own self portraits🙌

After, we had our 'Neurocarousel' session where we explored creatively 4 themes of neuroscience: - Branching & Patterning - Growth, maintenance & decay - Behaviour & Interactions - Signals

We looked at how blowing ink on paper gave rise to a similar branching exhibited in neurons. Look at these creations!

The afternoon session has started with introductions to our project groups and creating our group mascots! 🦋
