Life: a healthy game of chance and choice

The festival at the Science Museum launched the MRC's Centenary Open Week to celebrate 100 years of life-changing discoveries from the MRC.

In June 2013 the Science Museum teamed up with the Medical Research Council (MRC) and theatre company non zero one to create 'LIFE: A healthy game of chance and choice'.

The MRC Centre for Outbreaks Analysis and Modelling joined eight other MRC Centres to deliver a three-day MRC Centenary Festival event entitled "Life: a healthy game of chance and choice".

The festival at the Science Museum launched the MRC's Centenary Open Week to celebrate 100 years of life-changing discoveries from the MRC.

Visitors picked up a paper 'Pal' and took them on a journey through LIFE. The aim of the game was to find out what is important for a long and healthy life. LIFE featured live games with MRC scientists, interactive theatre and a series of short talks.
