What is it like to be a student, technician or staff researcher at the MRC Toxicology Unit? Our researchers are finding ways to make our medicines and environment safer but what does that actually entail day to day?

Well, now you can follow our researchers via this video series and discover what a day as a scientist is really like! You might be surprised about the variety of tasks, cool equipment and teamwork that are involved… and to discover that scientists are actually no different to you!

The videos will be available on demand during the Festival on our YouTube channel at: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIg-TGOrZW_-AtkF-8uQ8XXXeEZ23W2cx
