Workshop 1 – “Cut’n’Stick PCR”A paper-based workshop to explain the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Lecture 2 – “Proteins and Enzymes”A lecture focusing on the essentials of protein structure as well as an overview of enzymes with specific examples of how they function in cells.
Workshop 2 – “CSI: Abdn – Bloody Typing Lab”A laboratory practical workshop to demonstrate blood typing as part of a forensic investigation.

Feedback from previous participants
The lecture on DNA and RNA along with the PCR were really helpful – something I can take into class with me. The Blood typing experiment was great – something I could use with junior school.
