Thanks to the organisation of the science society, Rhys Jones gave a fascinating talk to a few sixth form students on the ability of scientists to add a fluorescent protein to proteins of biological interest in order to follow its progress through organisms. This technique is used by scientists who don't have access to more expensive Scanning Electron Microscopes to see structures inside cells. It basically consists of cutting a section of a protein that creates the fluorescent glow of jellyfish and pasting it onto the end of the protein that the scientist wants to observe. This can then be easily seen by scientists as it goes through synthesis, transport through the cell, and different functions.
ounced footballer of the year, Riyad Mahrez, has produced 7 assists so far, the second most in the current season, falling just short of Özil’s 13. However, this can all change in their last game against the previous champions, Chelsea.

Well done to everyone who took part in the concert last night! There were some fantastic performances, including soloists Kristie (piano concerto) and Naomi (saxophone) from the Upper Sixth and from Big Band, Symphony Orchestra and Concert Orchestra; along with the Choirs that included singers from year seven to upper sixth. A particularly magnificent performance was Mozart's Requiem from all singers/musicians.
