Foreign Perspectives

Monday makes quite a difference in the life of the medical school and rather than having the place largely to ourselves we’d to queue at tea-breaks and lunch.

Respiration was the final theme 1 topic and  we spent the morning in experiments with Douglas bags, oxygen and carbon dioxide measurement devices. Quite an intensive morning of experiments all-round.

That finished the experimentation phase of theme 1 and the afternoon went in preparing and making a presentation on one of the three experiments that we’d done over the three sessions.

This evening sees the first of the briefings on theme 2 (energy) and another on the poster session that we’ll be doing at the end of that theme. For the poster session we were split up into groups of 2-6 and given a bad write-up of an experiment which we’d to tidy up and produce a poster for. Quite a manic session and a bit much for most people at that time of night.
