      The workshop that I run is called Glowing Diagnosis. I ran it at the Dunbar science Festival for the first time on the 16th of March.

      In the workshop I set up a fake blood test that demonstrates how my cancer blood test will work. The students make up their samples, add the dye and then test the fluorescence in a UV blacklight box. If they see fluorescence, it is a positive result for cancer and they diagnose their patients!
