Science and Outreach
Mark is always keen to seek science outreach opportunities and this sleep deprived experience presents one that is too hard to resist. He is working with teachers to develop school lesson plans and will be using EEG machines and other health monitoring devices to collect and present various elements of biological data on this site throughout the event.
It is a great opportunity for sleep deprivation and cognition studies to investigate how Mark’s body responds to such deep levels of sleep deprivation so he is working with research teams in Sweden and Cambridge, UK to help with their research.
The Team
Mark would not be able to do this all himself. He is working with an amazing team of volunteers that are donating their time to make the event a success:
Event Manager : George Isherwood
PR : Anna Stevenson
Social Media : Kirk Miller
Education : Rachael Wood
Norwich Science Festival Liaison : Natalie Bailey
