An introduction to the Lower Vertebrates and Invertebrates Lab

“The purpose of this still developing facility is to support both our undergraduate and postgraduate teaching – students use the lab when they set up projects or during specific training practical sessions within courses. I think not only does it give them very strong practical experience, it gives them a greater appreciation of how you actually care for species and the amount of work and planning that goes into that.”
