Another brilliant Environmental Science Exploration Day investigating pond microorganisms with local P6 students. So much enthusiasm and talent from these potential future scientists! Thanks to @e3dtp, @EoCdt, @NERCscience and @AyushiArora_25 🌏 #science#workshop#university
ALT Alice and Ayushi standing next to a small whiteboard with “Invisible Pond Creatures: activity A” written on it. Alice is holding a toy tardigrade and Ayushi is holding a postcard with cartoon scientists on it.
ALT A top down view of a table with printed out sheets of paper stuck to it. The pages say “Invisible Pond Creatures” and below this show pictures of pond microorganisms. There’s also a diagram of how to use a microscope.

It was an incredible day meeting School of Chemistry alumni on 1st June and learning about their successful life journeys. I also got a chance to share my work with them via poster :) Thank you
@EdinburghChem, @NeRoChem & @e3dtp for this amazing opportunity.
To all curators, researchers and supervisors who checked and corrected my missteps throughout (Neil Clark, Nick Fraser, Mark Wilkinson). And @e3dtp with the staff of University of Edinburgh for keeping everything smooth sailing. Peer reviewers.
