Results and Impact The MIB Open Day was specifically aimed at A-Level students nationally. The day focused on hands-on experiments and lectures to promote working at the interface between chemistry and biology to solve problems with a biological 'green' solution and encourage science students to pick applied science subjects. The feedback was very positive with pupils reporting that they now realized there were a lot more options for further study and jobs than they previously knew about.
