Summary of Activities
The Biological Sciences Learning Community met in semester 2 2021/22 with a focus on allowing the newer members of staff an opportunity to introduce themselves and give a broad overview of their expertise. This was followed by a general discussion on the challenges of lecturing during a pandemic and the types of innovations that were trialled. A short overview was also given on the resources available to all staff from the TLU. The meeting finished with an informal lunch in the gallery space of the student centre.
