Our Lower Sixth Biologists @LEHSchool are having a brilliant day @zsllondonzoo learning about @CITES #conservation #threatstowildlife (as well as being hippos, of course!🙄)
Huge congratulations to Ella (L6) who was the overall winner of the Spinal Muscular Atrophy @SMA_UK_ #rarediseaseday quiz! We’re so impressed by your appetite to learn more and your proactivity following the brilliant course @RoyalHolloway

Thank you Avani for writing this brilliant piece on the fantastic #RareDiseaseDay that the L6 Biologists @LEHSchool attended (virtually) @RoyalHolloway last week. It was SUCH a great event, we’re all still talking about it!

L6 enjoying dissecting Sea Stars @LEHSchool in today’s PandA (physiology and anatomy) club. We’re discussing the uniqueness of a water vascular system and the similarities and differences between coordinating the movement of tube feet and cilia...
When you can’t go on a field trip, make the field! Belt transects in the assembly hall, with pasta ‘organisms’... making do with what we’ve got @LEHSchool

It’s happening! The pace of vaccine research is absolutely staggering: back in May, when I wrote about deliberate infection, it was just a crazy idea.

Recommended reading for our Sixth Form Biologists who are about to start studying immunity & disease...
The start of term @LEHSchool was different for many reasons this year; it also fell on a full moon. This fascinating article refers to the Biological effects of lunar cycles.
A successful L6 Biology trip to visit @BodyWorldsLDN and the tumour labs @BartsHospital
