Which scientific questions does the nation most want answers to?
Psychologist, Richard Wiseman is curious about why a balloon makes such a
loud bang when popped, Adam Hart-Davis wants to know whether fizzy drinks
stay fizzier if kept in the fridge and Jonathan Kestenbaum, Chief Executive
of NESTA (National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts), wants to
know why our hair turns grey as we age.
But which scientific questions do you most want answered?
NESTA FameLab, the national competition to find the new voices of UK science
and engineering, the Cheltenham Science Festival and the Daily Telegraph
want to discover which scientific questions the nation most wants answers
to. Whether it's whether woodpeckers get headaches or why wet objects look
darker than dry ones we want to know!
Visit www.telegraph.co.uk/science to see what questions the experts want
answered, submit your own burning questions and if you are feeling clever
provide some answers.
Results will be announced just ahead of the NESTA FameLab final on 9 June at
the Cheltenham Science Festival.
