The 2009 Issue of BURN
by Professor Jerry Roberts, Head of School
The School of Biosciences carries out 'cutting edge' research and seeks to apply the knowledge generated to benefit the agricultural and food sciences. These activities are focused on the improvement of human nutrition and health, environmental sustainability and economic efficiency and deliver directly into the Global Food Security agenda. Our internationally competitive research is a crucial component in the delivery of a first class teaching and learning environment and provides the catalyst for the final year projects that undergraduates undertake.

Ignition Editorial:
by Martin Luck, Associate Director, Centre for Integrative Learning.
The aim of BURN has been to bring final year undergraduate research work to public view in a professional and relevant way. Their articles show the distance they have travelled during their studies. They also demonstrate the inquiry and critical thinking skills that have been developed.
As graduates, they will be able to exploit these valuable skills in their careers, whether they continue in science or whatever path they may choose.
