Hi everyone, my name is Andrea Pochylova and I am MA student of Politics and Security at the School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies at UCL. As a politics student I am most interested in inequality between people.

You may think what is a politics student doing at Cheltenham Science Festival? I have to tell you, I am quite excited to explore completely new academic fields closely. I am intrigued to learn more about migration, and the ageing  population as well as to understand how young minds work, a lecture by UCL neuroscientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. I am especially looking forward to the laughter workshop.

I am glad to see I am not the only first time blogger and I will do my best to share my Cheltenham experience from a little different (not exactly scientific) perspective.

Looking forward to share my foray into science world.
