On Sunday 8 September, 2013, as part of the British Science Festival, you can come and find out why your fingers get wrinkly in the bath. Just visit our stand at the Culture Lab between 10am and 4pm. You can measure how your fingers change after wrinkling, and test whether your grip on wet objects improves or gets worse. This activity is presented by Tom Smulders of the Centre for Behaviour and Evolution, who is interested in the evolution of neural and physiological mechanisms.
