鈥楳anufacturing self-care products鈥�
Allison Dolling,听Senior Technician, School of Pharmacy
Running a session where staff learn how to make self-care products such as bath bombs and bath salts would demonstrate in a fun way the type of work that technicians do on a daily basis when preparing equipment and chemicals for research labs and practical classes. It would also give attendees the skills to make self-care products at home.
