Year 7 students have been learning more about careers in the STEM sector, by visiting local pharmaceutical company Piramal Healthcare.During their afternoon visit, the students received an introductory talk about the company before visiting the Quality Control labs, trying their hand at paper chromatography and seeing how an electron microscope works.Speaking after the visit, Glen in 7C said: “It was good because you learnt about why medicines were made the way they were. We also saw some of the different equipment used by the scientists there.”
A big thank you to Dr Paul Nott and his colleagues at Piramal for hosting our visit.
