Before we wrap up British Science Week (BSW) for another year, I wanted to just jump on here and reflect on the past 10 days!

Of course, we celebrate everything science all year round here within the College, but BSW gives us the perfect excuse to offer an insight into the future of science and studying in higher education.

Throughout the 10 days, we showcased some of our current students and academics on our social media channels and hosted our own competition! Our competition offered you the chance to win a £50 Amazon gift card and all you had to do was become a ‘scientist’ for a day and create the biggest and brightest salt crystals.

We would like to thank everyone who entered, our judges had a very difficult decision! However, I am happy to announce our two winners were Bella, aged 11 and Erik, aged 12.

On Wednesday, 16 March, we also hosted our British Science Week showcase event. It was lovely to welcome visitors back on campus for an in person event! The event gave visitors the opportunity to get involved in a variety of interactive activities and attend talks from our academics.

If you would like to take a look at what we got up to, feel free to visit our Instagram @uolscience.

Until next year British Science Week…
