Session overview

Get inspired by the surprising beauty of viruses, celebrate vaccines and fold your own origami syringe. Scientist-turned-artist, Dr Lizzie Burns, will guide you through origami and finding parallels with protein structures. Lizzie has worked with people of all ages offering origami as an inspiring creative tool for wellbeing to focus the mind as flat paper in transformed through folding. Lizzie will share her own origami syringe and a piece of modular origami (Sonobe) which resembles a virus. Bring along any paper, such as A4, and get ready to join the fold. Lizzie has written about origami as a tool for wellbeing in the BMJ, and developed ‘Viruses and Vaccines’ resources for the Royal College of Pathologists: Transforming the everyday into something beautiful: How origami can help encourage self-care - The BMJ (https://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2020/12/21/transforming-the-everyday-into-something-beautiful-how-origami-can-help-encourage-self-care/)
