Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø

Staff are invited to bring their lunch along and find out about the huge range of work going on inside Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø from colleagues in other areas.

Hilary Jackson from the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Public Engagement Unit explained: "Bite-Sized is a great way to find out what researchers at Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø are working on. It's also a fantastic opportunity for researchers who are just starting out in their careers to share their enthusiasm with people beyond their usual circle. Each talk sparks with new ideas and it's impossible to be in the audience without being amazed by that. I'm really excited that the talks will continue throughout the year and more and more people will be welcomed into our researchers' fascinating world."

The lectures all take place on Fridays in the Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²ÊÖÐÌØÍø Darwin Biochemistry Lecture Theatre, between 13:10pm - 13:55pm.
