Our main activities this month have revolved around planning Nottingham Digitally Engaged 2020, shortlisting for our awards and working with researchers taking part in the Limelight training programme we are running in partnership with Lakeside Arts. We have
our first filming session planned for later this month and we are very excited about sharing the results with everyone in 2021.<br>
<br>
We also launched our small grants scheme for 2020-21, if you haven't seen the call yet full details are below.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">19 November, 6-7 pm</span></strong><br>
<br>
The natural world provides the blueprint for materials that can be useful in fields of medicine and engineering. In this lecture Professor Sara Goodacre will explore how different spider silks can be made synthetically in the laboratory, and how these can be
further improved for human use by the addition of useful chemical properties, such as antibiotic activity. Sara will also explore how the natural ability of spiders to act as predators of pests in settings such as agricultural fields can be harnessed as an
a natural alternative to the use of pesticides<br>
