A pot of orange marigold flowers, behind a white plastic tray which holds colourful string, colourful beads, and green beads. Participants to the stand use these beads to build a keyring representing a medicinal compound found in the marigold.

Another great couple of days at #NorwichScienceFestival, huge thanks to everyone who joined us and our colleagues volunteering their time on the stand.
