INTRODUCTION TO SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

A Level students with a particular interest in Sports Science and Psychology were invited to St. Mary’s University to attend Research Bites mini lectures as part of British Science Week. They spent the afternoon hearing from over 20 professionals and lecturers. They were welcomed by Dr Leanne Griffiths, Head of Department for Sport and Exercise Science at the University and heard from Dr Holly Chinnery, Emily Storr and Locke Bell about understanding the role of gender norms in parenting, before learning about performance of the brain and attitudes towards refugee groups in the UK, as well as lectures on motor planning, physical activity and autism, and even a compelling discussion about how to make someone fall in love with you.
