Description

As part of our Nature Live programme, take part in exciting, thought-provoking debates focusing on controversial and topical science issues. Come and make your voice heard, listen to the different views or join the discussion online. Evening Live events take place on the last Thursday of every month.

Disease Outbreak!
In the depths of the city a silent killer waits for a new victim. It lies unseen and undisturbed until a body is discovered in an abandoned vault.
Within days people fall sick with a strange and hideous disease. What is this unseen killer and how can it be stopped before an outbreak is unleashed?

Join us to contain a virtual disease outbreak in our special scenario event. Help us to identify the infection, its origins and how to control it using some of the actual techniques our scientists use in real life disease control situations. We need your help!
