On Wednesday 12 June, Dr Lydia Daniels-Gatward came to speak to the Year 9, sets 1-3. Science Core Elective students on Diabetes.
Dr Daniels-Gatward, is a Postdoc. who works on the sex differences in Diabetes, at Kings College London, University of London.
Things that Dr Daniels-Gatward talked about was her educational and scientific journey, the function of glucose, insulin and glucagon, and how the alpha and beta cells work together like a a football team, which made the information very accessible.
The students were great and asked some really good questions on stem cell therapy and cancer cells that make insulin. Excellent!

Also thanks to the support of Dr Mepani, Ms Mitchell and Mr Mendoza.
