Issue 1 • 2020 • Changing Health in a Changing World
2020 was 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. 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, all of which were important to us as editors, and we hope they also hold significance for students and staff alike.
Key topics: cell repair, animal-linked pandemics, career journey
