Our 4th Cell to Cell session featured Prof Hing Leung (CRUK Scotland Institute / Uni of Glasgow) chatting all things prostate health:
🔍 What it is
⚠️ Why it can become cancerous
📊 How it’s staged & treated
🤖 Super cool surgical robots!
A high-interactive session that the guys really enjoyed 💬💡

Our 3rd Cell to Cell session on 'Immunotherapy' was led by Dr. Ryan Devlin, Scientific Officer at CRUK Scotland Institute. Topics included:
🎯 Antibody therapy
⛔ Checkpoint blockade
💉 Cancer vaccines
🧪 CAR-T cells
Learners were excited to learn how we can train our immune systems to fight cancer!

Our 2nd Cell to Cell session back in November covered cancer. We discussed:

🦀 What cancer is
🧠 Why it’s hard to treat
🦹‍♀️ The immune system’s role
💊 Common treatments
💥and of course- myth-busting!

Here is some feedback we received after the session

Had our first sessions at Low Moss and Shotts in October!💉 Talked vax facts✍️, busted myths💥, and used @britsocimm.bsky.social infographics to break down how COVID vaccines were made so fast⚡. We had some great discussions!

✏️We asked our learners at HMP Low Moss to help us design a logo for Cell to Cell
👩‍🎨We then shared these with the awesome Nicole Evry (CraftaLaVista) who helped make combine the designs and make them digital
🥳We are so happy with the results!

In Nov, we visited ‘Restorative Voices: Seen and Heard’ exhibition, featuring artwork by individuals at HMP Low Moss. Presented by Community Justice Scotland, the Scottish Prison Service, and Fife College, it showcased talent and creativity, highlighting Scotland’s shift to rehabilitative justice.

Introducing Cell to Cell: Bringing science engagement to Scottish prisons! 🧪🔬 Empowering learners through science education, curiosity, and critical thinking. Breaking barriers, building knowledge.
