Dippy is an introduction to Natural History, to Science and to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths). We are working closely with our partners on the world leading Norwich Research Park and exploring Future Climate (working closely with the School of Environmental Science at UEA) and Future Food in collaboration with TSN’s host institution the John Innes Centre and the new Quadram Institute.”
Entries will appear here as well on digital screens in Norwich Cathedral and on their Dippy-microsite.
