She is a neuroscientist researching and working with dementia patients all around the world. The students were really engaged with her workshop and they had lots of questions for her regarding her pathway, work and experiences. What a fantastic British Science Week we have had, with all of our guest speakers, trips and visits and not forgetting our adorable chicks!
