The Science Museum in London is redesigning its award winning biomedical gallery called ‘Who am I’ to include the latest discoveries in genomics and epigenomics. The next generation gallery, to be launched in 2010, will contain a display on honey bee epigenetic regulation of development and behaviour. Ryszard Maleszka (Animal Genomics and Evolution) is interacting with the exhibition content developer to find a way to prepare a visually interesting exhibition.
