  We have babies or children visit the lab most days during the week. We watch their behaviour while they play or look at videos, and from that we can learn how they develop. Even tiny changes in behaviour can tell us a lot! It’s important that we look at behaviour in lots of different children, even if they are the same age, as no two people are the same 🙂

  I have had school children in my lab to see some of the experiments I do, and to learn about the consequences of plastic pollution in the ocean.
  
  They came in to help them get a environmental blue peter badge.
  
  How cool is that?
