FundRaiser Art Exhibition

Submitted by lince

Last 21st March at Homerton College (Cambridge, UK), we had an event to raise funds for our project. Among the artists exhibiting their creations were Claudia Stocker, a scientific illustrator coming all the way from Bristol, and Agnes Asselin, an active Drosophila scientist at the University of Cambridge and artist with a passion for African textiles. Their creations were auctioned at the end of the event. We managed to raise £5,400! It was a nice evening, with lots of people attending the event.
