Dr Dan Corbett who delivered a number of presentations to visitors during the event, said: “Science at Queen’s is a key event within the University’s outreach calendar each year, and it’s fantastic to see it so well attended in 2024. The study of science is fundamental to so many careers, including those related to pharmacy and the pharmaceutical industry, and this event has provided us with a real opportunity to allow students to learn more about this at an exceptionally formative point in their professional lives.
