Nicole presented a poster of her summer research project, supervised by Haseeb, at the Sheffield Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE) Showcase at The Octagon.  The Showcase is an annual exhibition and celebration of all the research completed by SURE students over the previous summer.

Tanya visited the Living Systems Institute, University of Exeter, as external examiner for Gemma Sutton, who defended an excellent PhD thesis.  The following day Tanya gave a seminar, hosted by Professor Steffen Scholpp, and spent the day discussing science with friends and colleagues.

Tanya, Sarah and Nahal ran a successful MSc practical, teaching students how to design and microinject CRISPR reagents into zebrafish embryos, and analyse the results by PCR and restriction digest.
