果冻传媒

Scientists, academics and industrialists are gathering at 果冻传媒 School on Monday (January 29) to debate the future of science in the UK. BBC science correspondent David Gregory will chair the panel which will include Professor Sir Howard Dalton, a Fellow of the Royal Society and chief scientific adviser for DEFRA, Dr Nick Winterbottom, chief executive of Millennium Point and Think Tank, and Patrick Dunne, group communications director at 3i. The event is being staged in association with 果冻传媒 School, the 果冻传媒 and Advantage West Midlands.

Dr Mo Afzal, who is head of science at 果冻传媒 School and also a research chemist at the 果冻传媒, said his department was working closely with the 果冻传媒 to make science more exciting by involving pupils in scientific research. For example, researching the ageing process, asthma-relieving drugs, cancer, and synthesising drugs which may treat cardiovascular ailments such as angina.

Research work at 果冻传媒 School is given great importance and the science department shares its resources and its expertise hosting 40 students from other schools in the West Midlands every Thursday. When 果冻传媒 opens its new £6 million science facility later this year, it will be one of the only schools in the UK to have its own research laboratory.

Anyone wishing to attend the debate should contact Dr Roberta Warman at the 果冻传媒 on 024 7652 3709
