Today myself and Stephen Morgan MP, a Minister for the D of E, spent the morning at @lifelabsoton.bsky.social, an entirely unique research-based educational project, right in the heart of Southampton General Hospital. Backed by the UoS, it’s already inspired over 17,000 young people. Great to see it
