Presentation style was engaging and enjoyable, never patronising - acknowledged that we (may) already know a lot about this topic. I found plenty to think about and enjoyed the experiments / discussing my ideas with colleagues.

Was a good reminder of things we do already and what we could work on Big issue in biology is content coverage and students being novices in most lessons.

Somewhat useful refresher, and chance to think about what we do more explicitly. That said, I do feel as if lots of the content covered was something we’d been taught when training. More practical activities or ideas would be useful.
