🧬🔬 WHAT A DAY! 🔬🧬
A massive THANK YOU 🙌 to the amazing Medical Science students and staff from King Edward VI College, Nuneaton, for joining us for today’s Biomedical Science outreach session! 🎉👨🔬
The students stepped into the shoes of Biomedical Scientists and Clinical Scientists, tackling a patient case scenario from the very start 💭.
They created their own EUCAST disk diffusion plates 🧫 and tested antibiotic discs to work out which treatment would be most effective for their patient and avoid antibiotic resistance!🦠
Next up was cell counting using a blood cancer cell line 🔬🩸, followed by blood grouping their patient’s sample to determine which donor blood groups would be safe for transfusion ❤️🩸
And the highlight for many... finding out their blood type! 🎊🅰️🅱️🅾️ Students also took home personalised blood group keyrings 🔑 showing both their blood type and just how rare it is in the general population 📊🌍
It was fantastic to see so much enthusiasm, teamwork, curiosity and future scientific talent all in one room 💡🚀🧑🔬. Thank you for bringing such great energy and engagement throughout the day!
We loved having you with us and can’t wait to see where your future careers in science and healthcare take you! 🌟💙
