Fruit flies & Alzheimer's disease I designed and produced an exhibition for the prestigious 2005 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition, presenting 24 current research projects.to the public. My client was a Cambridge University team investigating Alzheimer's disease, using fruit flies. The centrepiece is a selection of impressive-looking, back-projected, scanning electron microscope images of fruit fly adult, larva and embryo which appear to rotate three-dimensionally on the futuristic screen as a red knob is turned. The display was designed to appeal to a wide range of ages and abilities. Living flies can be examined at different magnifications in front of an auto-focusing video camera. In keeping with my dislike of exhibits that flood the area with booming voice-overs, concise information appears on a screen as question-buttons are selected, then users have the option of listening to more detailed information through my special 'whisper tube'.
