Three of our Year 12 pupils gave up their weekend for an incredible experience at the annual Biology and Medicine Competition at Thammasat University. After tackling the first round of the competition in the morning, they jumped straight into some unforgettable hands-on sessions. The most dramatic was a pathology workshop, where they witnessed an autopsy for the very first time. Once the initial shock passed, they were fascinated to learn about the work that goes on inside a pathology lab. They also tried their hand at histology, experimenting with stains and tissue preparation, before wrapping up with a session on communicable diseases and how they are managed in real-life clinical settings. It was a challenging but inspiring day that brought science to life in the most memorable way.
