Join leading scientists as they reveal how science can help us to keep our children healthy. Whether you can come along for just one session over your lunch break or attend the whole event, we hope you walk away with plenty of top tips on how to keep your children in tiptop health. There will be a 30-minute break between each session so that the audience can visit our accompanying exhibition. Plus, watch and learn as Geeta Sidhu-Robb (author of Food for all: the gluten, dairy, egg and nut free cookbook and parent of children with several allergies) whips up some healthy, allergy-free snacks you can try at home.
