Special feature

In the last month we have been celebrating scientists for the International Day of Women in Science on 11 February (see our Special Feature). Hungarian Biochemist Katalin Karikó is one woman who we value and believe deserves recognition for her contribution in developing the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine. Another brilliant scientist, Tu Youyou, is the first female citizen of China to receive a Nobel Prize in any category. Tu Youyou discovered life saving drugs to treat malaria, saving millions of lives. Although this is an important day to celebrate, women make up only 15% of total management roles in science, engineering and technology. Women should always be recognised for their accomplishments and encouraged to pursue their goals in STEM. Which women do you value in science?

Food and Nutrition Society

In the Food and Nutrition Society at Bath Spa, we have participated in several bake offs so far this year. Beyond this, we are currently planning a quiz night, which will most likely happen on a Thursday night, but the date is still to be determined. We are also planning some more bake/cook offs where we will be trying to get people to participate by either baking or cooking their favourite foods, or something they’ve never done before and posting to us, with recipes and tips etc. These will be posted over Facebook and Instagram (with permission, of course). We also post upcoming events that may be useful for food and nutrition students, such as seminars or television shows that could be of interest.

EcoSoc

Alongside the Hedgehog friendly campus team, the Eco Society is happy to announce that the team’s work towards Bronze accreditation for a Hedgehog friendly campus has been submitted and we are eagerly awaiting the results. Alongside the Walking and Mountaineering Society (WAMS) we were also able to raise £130 for the British Hedgehog preservation society. A big shout out to WAMS and their amazing members for this. Meanwhile we have some exciting events planned so please head over to our socials where you can find all the information you need. Soon we will be looking for individuals to be part of next year’s committee, an exciting opportunity to get involved in all things sustainability at Bath Spa and gain some leadership/teamwork skills. If you’re interested please don’t hesitate to contact us.
