New Publication: Ten simple rules for designing analogue science games

MGSN members Dr Paul Wake and Dr Sam Illingworth have a new publication in the journal PLOS Computational Biology: ‘Ten simple rules for designing analogue science games.’ In this editorial article, which follows the journal’s ‘ten simple rules’ format, they argue that the material properties of analogue (board, card) games make them well suited to science communication before setting out some key considerations for those looking for playful ways in which to explore and share their research.
