Last week, the QSF organised the annual Student Science Showcase! This was a great opportunity for students at @quadraminstitute.bsky.social to present their work We were glad to welcome back Dr. Bushra Schuitemaker to QIB as Keynote Speaker: talking about her PhD, research, and life in industry

Our @eh-hayles.bsky.social and @nisbetalice.bsky.social are giving oral presentations at the @quadramsf.bsky.social student science showcase today! A great snapshot of the abundance of diverse, exciting #science occurring across the student population of @quadraminstitute.bsky.social 🦠🔬👩‍🔬

Students from the Norwich Bioscience Institutes met last Friday for a Student Formal organised by the student committees - it was a great night celebrating our achievements over the past academic year (and an opportunity to get glammed up!)

Last week, we went pottery painting (in what has become an annual event!) Mugs, plates, bowls, and a motorcycle(?) were decorated with a whole host of different designs - and it was a great opportunity to unwind!! 🖌️🎨

The gut microbiome has a major impact on our bodily functioning 🦠 In this month's podcast, microbiologist Bushra Schuitemaker joins us to illuminate what we can learn about our microbiome from the world around us, particularly domesticated animals. Listen now: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/...
