The Long Way Round

An open bench for the neighbourhood, and the patience it keeps

A civic brochure from the School of Emergent Priorities invites neighbours to bring their garden cuttings to the University's open screening bench, where each is coded, extracted and set on a plate beside its blanks, and to follow at evening seminars the long road between an extract that slows cells in a dish and anything a person could take. It rests the invitation on six published University studies, cited by title and DOI.
