Snacks are like a mini-project with one important difference: you don’t get to choose. There is a reason for this …

We know that there’s a lot more to science than you might expect, so we allocate snacks that are related to areas you’ve expressed an interest in, or that are really worth exploring. Trust us, we know what we’re doing.

We won’t give you a definitive list here of the SNACKS we’ll have on offer for 2012, but here’s a list of some departments and places that have offered SNACKS in recent years:

• Chemistry
• Design Studies
• Genetics
• Otago Museum
• Physiology
• Food Science
• Physics
• Computer Science
• Geology
• Biochem
• Psychology
• Law
• Marine Science
• Theatre Studies
• Microbiology/BLIS
• Science Communication

You may have noticed some of these are NOT science departments. That’s because many of you are NOT just scientists – you’re talented musicans, involved in debating, sports, all kinds of things.
