BioFest Zine

Exploring the wonders of bioscience & its role in tackling humanity’s biggest challenges

The BioFest Zine explores the wonders of bioscience and its role in tackling five of humanity’s biggest challenges: 

  • Climate change

  • Food security

  • Healthy ageing

  • Antimicrobial resistance

  • Biodiversity

The zine was produced by pupils from five Sheffield secondary schools, working together with local artist Steve Poole. In a series of workshops, the pupils were paired with a different global challenge and tasked with creating artwork that expressed their hopes, fears, and ideas for solutions, all while learning about how bioscience researchers are working to address these challenges.
