Loreto Biology students are not simply microscope gazing boffins, as they proved at the recent Biology Bake Off, part of Biology Week. Â Swapping pipettes for palette knives, and condensers for cookie cutters, our enterprising and talented students set to with gusto, producing a fine selection of mouth-watering goodies with which to tempt the panel of distinguished judges: Miss Strickleton, Mr Foulder and Mr Moss. The dishes, strictly of the non-petri type, revealed a certain biological theme and large numbers of students enjoyed tasting the finished items, before the judges had the difficult task of deciding the winner and runners-up. First prize went to Zainab Ali, for her intriguingly named (and coloured) green cell cake; Freya Salway (cup cakes) and Alaa Eleynan (DNA, nerve cell and microscopes) also received an honourable mention.
