Cancer Research UK
Dr Saadia Karim visited Primary 5 to talk about her work for Cancer Research UK. She is a research scientist based at The Beatson and her area of expertise is Pancreatic Cancer. She spoke about her journey into science and what inspired her at school. The pupils learned lots of interesting information about the cells that make up our bodies. Did you know that there are more cells in the tip of your finger than people living in China? We also took part in a taste test to demonstrate the genes that we have inherited from our parents.
Thank you Dr Karim!
