Fembots and dinosaurs: Scientific illustration workshop

Run time: 15.30 – 16.30
Explore how books, TV and film shape the way we think about science in this drawing workshop. 
 
Join illustrator Hana Ayoob for an introduction to scientific illustration techniques and to delve into how dinosaurs and fembots are represented in pop culture.

Then draw your own! All materials will be provided. 

Hana will be joined by researchers Faye Lynch and Nath Bramald from the University of Liverpool.

Faye will explore the intersection of gender and technology in science fiction, while Nath will talk about how dinosaurs have been represented in popular literature over time. 

Join them to think through technology, extinction and geological deep time as you draw together.
