In September 2008 science and culture collide as Liverpool experiences an explosion of science. From hands on family days to debates on current hot topics; from trips to places of interest to unique opportunities to question the UK’s top scientists, with over 150 events, the BA Festival of Science offers something for everyone.
Find out how Liverpool’s maritime traditions have influenced medicine and migration. Tell us your memories of the Beatles and join in a massive worldwide experiment 'Magical memory tour' which will take you on a journey of the memory and how it works.
Highlights include Sir Ranulph Fiennes - the world's greatest living explorer - who will talk about his many adventures around the world.

The BA Festival of Science 2008 will be hosted by the University of Liverpool as part of the European Capital of Culture '08 celebrations.
The 2008 Festival president is former Chief Scientific Adviser to the Government, Sir David King. The theme he has chosen is 'Sustainability through Science'.
