It’s not just white coats that will be on show today (Friday, October 26) at University of Aberdeen labs at Foresterhill.
Researchers are also expected to be wearing a hint of pink. And those doing so will also be raising cash for breast cancer research.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and today has been earmarked by the charity Breast Cancer Campaign as wear it pink day. The charity hopes that as many people as possible across the UK will today wear something pink and give £2 for the privilege.
Last year's day raised more than £3 million for the charity. And staff at the University contributed more than £950 towards that, thanks to the generosity of pink-clad staff.
Dr Andy Schofield, whose breast cancer research group receives funding from Breast Cancer Campaign, has organised the University's wear it pink day. He said: "We hope to raise another generous amount for Breast Cancer Campaign which is using the money to fund breast cancer research through the UK.
"We hope to have a good turn out of people in the pink at the University and there will be prizes for the best dressed individual and the best dressed lab group."
