It’s a momentus year for Glasgow with festival-fever gripping the city and sportsmen and women from around the globe gearing up for the Games. Glasgow Science Festival will be uncovering the science of sport through public debates (“Is elite sport good for you?”) and testing the limits of microbial ‘athletes’ (“If Usain Bolt was a bacterium, which would he be?”).

Festival-goers can explore the frontiers of the world-class research taking place in the West of Scotland through live comedy, film, exhibitions and hands-on activities – many of which are free or just require you to reserve tickets.
