This week, members of the Magill Group were playing hosts to Olivia, who is currently studying for her A-Levels at Headington School, Oxford. Olivia has a keen interest in biomedical and human sciences, and following a recent visit of Unit scientists to her school, came to the Unit to learn more about the practical side of neuroscience research in a real working lab. During Olivia’s visit, she worked with all members of the Magill Group, and viewed every stage of a typical experiment in the lab. Olivia gained ‘hands on’ experience with some anatomical and molecular approaches to studying brain function, and also received training in neuroscience concepts. The results from Olivia’s immunofluorescence labelling experiments were first class!
