Episode 6 - Education in the Pandemic with Ian Davies & Salford Students

In April's IBMSPod, we caught up with Biomedical Science Course Leader and Senior Lecturer at Staffordshire University Ian Davies. In an episode focusing on Biomedical Science education, we ask how has the pandemic affected the next generation of Biomedical Scientists? As an academic Biomedical Scientist, Ian discusses his passion for education and how education has been impacted during a year of lockdowns. In LabLife, we were joined by Biomedical Science students at the University of Salford Caitlin Owen & Nadia Patel, who created a new magazine during the lockdown. Also features IBMS News - a round-up of all the latest headlines from the IBMS.
