Scientific paper board game

I was part of an awesome team (with @drclairemurray and @basham_mark) that developed a game aimed at showing students what it is like to be a scientist working at a major facility like the Diamond Light Source in the UK – and the paper showcasing our work has just been released! https://t.co/jeGdz9ndwL
