Adam Walton previews this year's Bangor Science Festival, a week long series of events for the family, co-inciding with British Science Week.

We hear from Dr Isabelle Winder who is presenting a talk called "Meet the relatives" where she explores how to read primate body language, facial expressions and vocalisations.

James Bamford from the Institute of Physics has details of the exciting activities that will be available in the "Lab in a Lorry" which will be rolling into Bangor.

Dr Lynda Yorke outlines the violent geological past of North Wales, and describes how the landscape was once covered in active volcanoes.Β 

Professor Colin Jago will be leading a walk to Cwm Idwal during the festival, and taking visitors in the footsteps of Charles Darwin who visited the area twice.

Dr Lorrie Murphy explains some of the "flash bang" chemistry experiments that festival visitors can try at the festival.
