SERPENT ready to go at Royal Society!

After a sweltering day setting up, SERPENT is finally ready to welcome visitors to the 2009 Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition!

We're lucky that where we are in the Mercer Room on the lower floors of the amazing and opulant Royal Society building, the temperature is cool and comfortable. So if you've had enough of the heat, come down the stairs and meet us, and have a bit of fun trying your hand at catching creatures with our Virtual Deep Sea Robot Simulator courtesy of Marine Simulation LLC!

Find out how to get there with Google Maps.

See you soon!

SERPENT at the Times Cheltenham Science Festival

Described as a "Mind-tingling feast of debate and entertainment", the Cheltenham Science Festival in the UK hosted the SERPENT project as part of the University of Southampton's "Oceans on Wheels" Roadshow. For three days at the beginning of June, SERPENT presented at the exciting and bustling Discovery Zone.

Patient queues of children (along with some adults!) were rewarded with an opportunity to pilot a deep sea ROV using the SERPENT ROVsim® simulator designed by Marine Simulation LLC™. SERPENT teams were able to discuss the project with adults and children alike who were amazed at the huge diversity of the creatures found in the deep ocean and fascinated by the research being undertaken by the SERPENT project.
