Genetics Society conference
You may remember a few weeks ago I posted about my first week of my placement in Dr Hammond’s lab at uni. My funding for the project came from the Genetics Society and in return for this all project students funded by them this year presented their work at a conference in Edinburgh. The conference […]
The first week of my internship…
You might remember a couple of months ago, around the May exams I found out I had got funding for a placement in a lab at uni to work on a research project over the summer. Well now exams are all over and I’ve had a few weeks in the Italian sun (check out my […]
Italy – Part 2:
In my last post I told you about my trip travelling around Italy up until we left Trecase to go to Bari! Bari was really nice in the centre, even though it doesn’t have the best reputation, but if you are going I would definitely stay in the centre not the outskirts. For all our […]
