I'm presenting in Theme 2.  I am a Lecturer in Medicine and Widening Participation Academic Officer within the school of MED.  I work with WP students throughout their lifecycle of the MB BS program at UEA, making sure that everyone has equity of learning.  This journey can often start with the Gateway/ Foundation year on the MB BS course, but equally applicable to those students who enter at level 4.  I'm interested in empowering students to become independent learners without overwhelming those who are already struggling.

Hello! I'm Richard Bowater and chaired the closing discussion at the HUBS Workshop. My subject specialisms are biochemistry and molecular biology, but I teach across a broad range of the biosciences curriculum from levels 4 to 7. I also help develop general and transferable skills in students, particularly through university roles that support employability. I'm keen to continue discussions with anyone who has ideas to increase engagement of biosciences students across my areas of interests.

Hello, it is very nice to virtually meet you all. I am an Associate Professor in Biochemistry and Biomedicine. I organise 2 Level 4 modules, one specifically for Biochemistry students (Analytical Methods in Biochemistry) and one for the rest of our Biological Science students (Biological Chemistry). I also run Math workshops and teach Biochemistry at Levels 5 and 6.
For the last 3 years I have been looking after Admissions for the school and helping Mark Coleman as a deputy Director of Teaching and Learning.
I am very interested in how to enable students to best transition to HE, as well as how to best built their confidence in areas like Maths and Chemistry that most are not so 'keen' on.

Hello all. I am the Director of Studies for MSc Courses in Molecular Biosciences (specialisms in Microbiology, Biotechnology, Bioinformatics and Medical Biosciences) at the University of Bath. We accept students with UG degrees in wide variety of STEM subjects and as such some come to us not having studied Biology since leaving school. As part of their MSc course we offer resources on our VLE to help them with Bioscience fundamental concepts. When I saw this workshop I thought it would be a good to see what others teaching in the subject area see as the important concepts and principles. Looking forward to the discussion today to help me improve the resources we provide to support my students. bsszdb@bath.ac.uk

Hi,
This promises to be a really interesting meeting!
I am in the School of Life, Health and Chemical Sciences at the Open University where I am a SL in Cell Biology and Director of Teaching.
At the Open University we have no entrance requirements, so how to best support foundation students coming in with very diverse range of skills and experience is something that we have to work particularly hard at.
Please feel free to contact me on Jane.Loughlin@open.ac.uk / add to any mailing lists. Many thanks!

Hi all! I am a new Lecturer at UEA, focussed on Microbiology with some Molecular Biology mixed in there. I am a co-module organiser for our new Microbiology Course and teach on the Level 4 module for this course, and am in the process of setting up a Level 5 module for it as well. I am particularly interested in ensuring that students get the most out of learning on the Norwich Research Park and our high concentration of Microbiologists, with an emphasis on research-led teaching. I'm also interested in new and more accessible ways to assess student learning that aren't just examinations and lab reports. I can be contacted at beth.williams@uea.ac.uk
