We had a great time hosting three college students - Sadie, Chloe and Isobel - as part of the In2STEM programme with Dr Kelly Johnston. With @dylanpostmus.bsky.social, they learned about our work in #HIVCure, drug development pipelines and assay design. Check out the programme here: in2scienceuk.org
