Three Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology science communicators / researchers travelled to Hong Kong to deliver Life Through a Lens to the public. Sarah Keer-Keer, Stefan Galander and Bethany Harker all worked with Hong Kong Science Museum to create two unforgettable days of drop-in activities in the main plaza. We trained some local helpers and between us we say around 6,000 people in 2 days. We worked with interpreters, learned some basic Cantonese and used a lot of sign language.
