About this event
The word mucus usually makes us think of stuffy noses during a cold, but it's a whole lot more. Since evolving hundreds of millions of years ago, mucus has been an exceptional defence mechanism governing what comes in and what stays out.
Erin Pallott is a final year PhD student at the University of Manchester researching mucus responses to parasitic infections - a specialist in biology that ruins dinner table conversations. This talk will introduce you to the wonderful niche world of mucus research, from ancient medicine to the cutting-edge.
This event is one of our regular monthly events that take place at The Albert Club and is additionally available to join online.

Frequently asked questions
A SciBar is literally science in a bar – an opportunity to hear a guest STEM academic, researcher, scientist or enthusiast talk about their specialist topic in an informal environment.
Anybody with a passing interest in the topic and there is no assumed knowledge of the subject. If you have a general interest in science, then a free Didsbury SciBar science event is a good place to learn a bit more, or to ask the questions you’ve always wanted answered.
Our topics are fairly diverse and vary each month; from Artificial Intelligence to Zoology. If one month’s subject of discussion isn’t grabbing your interest, keep an eye on our events calendar as we’ll inevitably be discussing something totally different the following month.
Didsbury SciBar is FREE whether you attend in person or online thanks to the generosity of our speakers, organisers and our hosts at The Albert Club.
Didsbury SciBar is hosted in the main bar at The Albert Club, 39-41 Old Lansdowne Road, West Didsbury, Manchester M20 2PA. You can also pre-register via Eventbrite to participate online.

No - Didsbury SciBar is open to all. Just turn up. We are a laid back and welcoming bunch – there’s no membership or obligation. You do not need to be a member of The Albert Club to attend Didsbury SciBar.
Originally conceived in 2008 by the North West branch of the British Science Association, Didsbury SciBar has, since 2019, expanded under the stewardship of a passionate collective of volunteers who have backgrounds in science, engineering and technology.
