This year’s Glasgow Science Festival events are united by the theme ‘Glasgow Celebrates’, which recognises the 850 years which have passed since the city received the status of Burgh in 1175. Dr Deborah McNeill, of the University of Glasgow, is director of the Glasgow Science Festival. She said: “This year’s programme is our most jam-packed ever, expanding to new venues and bringing in a widened range of events, shows and presentations."
