Today, Dr Rigby and three of her colleagues from Lancaster University came to teach us about their jobs as research scientists. She explained how she had become a scientist and the work she does as an immunologist, learning how viruses work and how to develop vaccines. She helped us understand how this works using some cuddly viruses, white cells and antibodies. We then donned labcoats and gloves to make artificial snot!
Thank you very much Dr Rigby for an interesting and fun session.
