The NHS have produced some new resources on Healthcare Science careers and training. They focus on the difference healthcare scientists make to people's lives. As well as these videos, a PDF on healthcare careers is also available on this resource bank: http://networking.stemnet.org.uk/node/21988

Jiggling Atoms is an interdisciplinary science and illustration project exploring the wonders of particle physics. Culminating in a unique exhibition from the 1-7 October 2012 at the Rag Factory in London’s East End - 25 artists illustrate the world as seen through the eyes of a scientist exploring the world of atoms, galaxies and particle detectors.

The unique spirit of Jiggling Atoms is based around collaborations between artists and research physicists. Inspired by Nobel laureate Richard Feynman and his wonderful ability to teach physics to non-scientists, teaching was where this project began. All contributing artists attended lectures at Imperial College London, written especially for the project by Malte Oppermann and Jennifer Crouch, with a final lecture by Dr. Ben Still. Exploring a range of particle-physics topics in depth, the artists developed their own take on the subject creating games, images, sculptures, comics and info-graphics for the Jiggling Atoms exhibition.

Jiggling Atoms was conceived by Natalie Kay-Thatcher and co-curated and organised by Rosie Eveleigh, Jennifer Crouch, Malte Oppermann and Dr. Ben Still. With support from the Science and Technology Facilities Council and The Institute of Physics, Jiggling Atoms seeks to increase the presence of science in the visual arts, opening a channel of science-oriented communication rarely used in this context or with this intensity.

The purpose is to introduce pupils to good and safe hygiene practices and habits. Have practical experience of the correct procedure to wash hands and why, not only in every day use and for cooking but in Food Industry also. Students will have an understanding of bacteria good & bad and how to prevent food poisoning. Have kinesetic learning activities to show how Food Companies have to have strict controls and processes to meet the high quality standards that are set.
