MANY of us have a stereotyped view of scientists as old men with mad hair.
Actually, scientists are just ordinary people. They’re all around us and their work affects every aspect of our lives.
On September 26 there will be a spectacular night of fun science events across York.
On YorNight, you’ll be able to try on a spacesuit for size, learn how we know what colour dinosaurs were – or just chat to a scientist over a cup of coffee.
We hope it will make you appreciate the thrill of science a little bit more.
