The committee chair also represents students at group leader meetings. Students are encouraged to take part in the active student social life of the LMCB which includes student evenings and the student retreat, and participate in further opportunities for scientific training, social and wellness events.

We offer many other opportunities to get involved in volunteering and public engagement activities,  including In2Science participation and The Brilliant Club. Please see our public engagement pages for more information about our activities with the public.
