We’re working with The Moredun Foundation to research foodborne pathogens on livestock farms. The anonymous survey will ask about your farm, your understanding of foodborne pathogens and how interventions may be used to reduce the risk of disease. Take part at: bit.ly/47H0Ec6

All set up for Science and the Parliament 2023 organised by Royal Society of Chemistry, really looking forward to discussing today’s #education theme.

Thank you to everyone who has responded to this and please do help us with this survey if you can it is greatly appreciated

P5/6, P6 and P7a enjoyed a brilliant visit from The Moredun Foundation as part of STEM week. We all enjoyed finding out more about microbes,becoming disease detectives and learning about the different routes we can take into a career in Science.
