ECFP was delighted to open its doors to visitors last Saturday 23rd September. Part of the Edinburgh-wide Doors Open Days event, ran annually by the Cockburn association, visitors were greeted at the level 2 of JCMB (where the ECFP is located) by a team of 13 PhD students and Post-Docs, who showcased the physics of complex fluids through a number of highly interactive activities, such as making slime, lava lamps, playing with a non-Newtonian fluid made of corn-starch and water, investigating the possibility of life on Mars, etc.
