There is significant public interest in science. Further, sixty-five percent of the UK adult population would like scientists to spend more time discussing their science and ethical implications of this science with them (Ipsos-Mori, 2014). The Faculties of Biological Sciences and Medicine and Health at the University of Leeds undertake significant research into the causes of Alzheimer’s disease and therefore the aim of this project was to engage the public with this research Engaging with Dementia: From Bench to Bedside comprised of three dissemination activities. For Key Stage 5 students, a workshop comprising of a “hands-on” laboratory session in which students recorded intracellularly from snail brain neurones and investigated the effects of ion channel modulators on neuronal firing, followed by a discussion of the ethical issues arising from research into Alzheimer’s disease, was developed. For the general public, a series of 24 open educational resources which took the them from the basic science underpinning neuronal function and Alzheimer’s disease, through more advanced concepts to current research being undertaken at Leeds was created and uploaded onto the project website. These resources included computer interactives, text articles and extended video podcasts of researchers talking about their research. Finally, a two day interactive public exhibition, Healthy Brains @ Leeds: Demystifying Dementia, was held at the Leeds City Museum. Visitors learnt how the brain works, discuss with scientists their research and join in the debate on future priorities for dementia research. Feedback from all activities was excellent: “Great opportunity to get into a University lab to study interesting and relevant science in a hands on way…… well explained and accessible.” “Great event, very important we raise awareness of dementia” “Superb – wish we could have stayed longer” This project has achieved its aim of engaging a wide cross section of the public with research into the causes of Alzheimer’s disease currently being undertaken at the University of Leeds. Further, the resources created will provide a long lasting legacy for the project.
