CSI (Clyst Students Investigate)

You might have noticed Clyst Vale students on Spotlight on Wednesday. This was a report on a project offered by the University of Exeter Medical School in which a group of more able students gained hands on experience of working in a research laboratory. They used clinical trials, DNA sequencing and microscopic scrutiny of mutated microorganisms to deduce who the villain was in a ‘whodunit’ scenario involving a fictitious case of genetically modified bananas.
