It's been a busy few weeks for our new students:
Attended welcome weeks at Bristol & Oxford โ
Started Foundation courses in Oxford in Biology or Maths โ
Learnt new skills with 3D printing โ
Next week, they're off to Bristol to continue their training

Today the @BIA_UK hosted a #Webinar in partnership with @LucideonHealth and the @BrisBioDesign on Synthetic and #EngineeringBiology: A Joint Opportunity for the๐ #UK and #Switzerland.
We explored how synthetic and engineering biology is revolutionising industries, by providing #Biosolutions to tackle #ClimateChange โ๏ธ unlocking the transition to a #SustainableBioeconomy ๐ฑ
There were engaging discussions on the key challenges in scaling these #Technologies, building public awareness and acceptance, the importance of international standards, and the need for updated regulations to keep pace with innovation. The conversation highlighted the incredible potential for collaboration between ๐ค the UK and Switzerland to address ๐ #GlobalChallenges.
Congratulations ๐ to Maddie Cass, @KKinkelin, and Anike Te for leading such an engaging session and to
@lindabedenik and @KathleenSe44593 for their support ๐
Thanks to all the participants, especially those who submitted thoughtful questions on regulation and international engagement ๐
