    Description

    Experimental Words is an initiative partnering Researchers and Poets to come up with new ways of communicating science to the general public. As part of this year’s offering, Dr. Nick Weise from the MIB worked with local spoken word artist Ella Otomewo to produce a short performance piece about biocatalysis and industrial biotechnology. The work centred around the use of directed evolution – a technique whose use has recently resulted in a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
