  PROTEUS’ Science Engagement Exhibition Travels to Shanghai, China.
** PROTEUS’ will show its highly acclaimed science engagement exhibition, created by renown Scottish artist Ron O’ Donnell at Tongji University, Shanghai. Tongji is one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in China.
Following a brilliantly successful launch at the GATHER Festival in Edinburgh this year Ron’s arresting piece of art work entitled **'Let The World Keep Turning'** has caught the attention of Chinese academics at Tongji University, Shanghai.
Dazhi Yuan, a science communications masters student from the Science Communication and Public Engagement Programme at the University of Edinburgh will co ordinate the exhibition within the university.
Dazhi will use the exhibition as a way to communicate PROTEUS’ science to university students and academics and demonstrate how public engagement can take novel and interesting forms, in this case bringing artists and scientists together to create exciting and thought provoking work.
Ron O’Donnell, a highly talented and respected contemporary art photographer, agreed to collaborate with PROTEUS in Spring 2015 to explore how PROTEUS scientists use different ‘scientific languages’ within the team to better understand each other and to achieve the ambitious scientific aims of the project. Ron is delighted that the work will exhibited internationally,
