Meet the Scientist

'Meet the Scientist' is a programme of early evening events designed to provide the opportunity for teachers to meet leading scientists and explore cutting edge biomedical research.

Sessions comprise a talk from one of our researchers and some Q&A time. They usually last around two hours, and the focus is on current research.

Sessions run from 5.30 - 7.30pm.

June events

We do not run teacher-focussed seminar events in June. The Meet the Scientist programme will return in July with Professor Harshad Navsaria, Burns Expert. They will run monthly from September 2010 until May 2011.
