British Science Week
British Science Week takes place every March with hundreds of public engagement events organised throughout the country. The University of Glasgow opens its laboratories and researchers and technicians from across the life sciences, including the WCIP, take part in practical activities for visiting groups of students. Along with colleagues in the Institute of Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, we work with P6 and P7 students at local primary schools to introduce them to microbiology. We visit a number of schools each year and then invite them to the Boyd Orr teaching labs to take part in further activities. These workshops are very popular and we engage with over 200 students every year.
