P5/6, P6 and P7a enjoyed a brilliant visit from @MoredunComms as part of STEM week. We all enjoyed finding out more about microbes,becoming disease detectives and learning about the different routes we can take into a career in Science.
Pls RT - Can you help with a survey looking at Foodborne pathogens on livestock farms
Moredun is working with @FSScot to find out more about foodborne pathogens on-farm

Deadline is 6th Dec 23
All responses from the survey will be anonymous
Thank you
We’re working with @MoredunComms to research foodborne pathogens on livestock farms. The anonymous survey will ask about your farm, your understanding of foodborne pathogens and how interventions may be used to reduce the risk of disease. Take part at: https://t.co/7eZt0PZvqx
