2nd Annual Natural Sciences Student Conference

27 – 28 March 2018, Lancaster University

On the first day of the conference an excellent Plenary talk was given by Dr Caroline Eames, a Senior Forensic Scientist at Cellmark Forensic Services, “Forensic Science – fact or fiction?” This set the scene really well, bringing in multiple sciences with some truly inspiring case studies. Students gave a series of great talks, with posters on exhibit throughout the event too.

After the first day it was good to decamp out of campus for a conference dinner set in the Lancaster Brewery, which was a hit by all staff and students alike.

Paul Roach, Loughborough

  The second day opened with a fabulous talk by the Head of Lancaster Chemistry, Prof Peter Fielden, “Chemistry in the balance.” This covered a multitude of scientific achievements by Prof Fielden, as well as much humour.
