Although we were very sad to have Dr Majda Bakali leave Bristol, we are delighted that she was appointed Assistant Professor in Biomedical Sciences at the University of Birmingham Dubai campus. Even better, Majda is staying within our group as 'co-lead at large' with the aim of continuing the work to internationalise our method for teaching core science using simulation and lead our multi-centre trial. We are excited about where this might take us as more centres apply our method.
