The past year has been all about change. In all aspects of our lives, from the way we interact with friends, to evolutions in the realm of biomedicine and healthcare. And so the theme for our first issue was born:
Changing health in a changing world
It made sense that the first issue of a publication with an aim to be a resource for Bioscience students to navigate university life and beyond should acknowledge the changes we've all experienced, and how they may impact our future. Themes like climate change, scientific advancement, personal improvement and wellbeing all feature in this magazine, all of which were important to us as editors, and we hope they also hold significance for students and staff alike.
This publication originated as a casual thought in a society meeting one evening. Many a "what if" and countless name changes later, we are proud to say that this magazine is the result.
Amongst many other things, this magazine stands testament to the plethora of opportunities our Biomed Society provides for students to get involved and push the boundaries of their potential. This issue features details of events, clubs and activities hosted by the society as we approach the new year.
We would like to thank all the wonderful students who contributed in any way to all parts of this magazine, along with Dr Sara Namvar and Aimee Pinnington for their invaluable support throughout every stage in the process of planning and compilation. It wouldn't have been possible without you.
