Experiences

Gaining knowledge is exciting and valuable but cannot happen solely from reading;  I find I learn the most from events, talks, and museums. The best part of gaining knowledge, however, is applying and sharing it.

I have compiled a list of posts which share the information I have gained from learning outside the classroom:

• The Royal Society Summer Exhibition
• Bioengineering Workshop at the Royal Institution
• Bioscience Careers Day and visiting the Gordon Museum
• Visiting the Wellcome Collection
• LYSC Forensic Workshop

I have also had the wonderful opportunity to shadow, intern, and do work experience at a few laboratories:

• Observing Marve Clinical Laboratory
• Observing Sunflower Laboratory
• Work Experience: Centre for Liver Research, University of Birmingham

 

In addition to this, a variety of super-curricular events and clubs have provided me with a very valuable understanding of a variety of subjects:

• International Youth Neuroscience Association (IYNA) Chapter Club
• Dissection and Anatomy Club:
  • Dissection : A Tour of the Eye
  • Dissection : A Tour of the Brain
• Exploring Everyday (Bio)Chemistry
