Tuesday 30 March 2010
Developing new skills in tomorrow’s microbiologists
joint with UK Higher Education Academy Centre for Bioscience
Employers looking for a microbiology graduate often stipulate a well‐rounded individual who is self‐motivated,
can solve problems and interacts productively with fellow scientists. This symposium will give you the opportunity
to discuss innovative approaches to delivering this paragon. The first session will look at fostering the key skills of
creativity, problem‐solving and enquiry‐based learning in the laboratory and field. The second session will
explore the impact of social networking tools, both on our students’ learning and on our own teaching practice.
If you think Twitter is just for chatting to celebrities, it’s time to take a fresh look!
