BioSoc enjoy virtual visit from molecular biologist, Dr Stephen Short

Students watching an online speaker

During this term's BioSoc, a group of KS4 and KS5 students were very fortunate to have a virtual visit from a molecular biologist - Dr Stephen Short, who works for the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology.

He discussed how he investigates ecotoxicology, looking at how genes impact how different species have varied sensitivities to toxicants. Stephen advised students on the positives and negatives of working in Science, the pathway he took to get into Science and the varied nature of his job.

We are extremely grateful for the donation of his time and the insights he was able to provide to the students.
