What did you think of your undergraduate practical classes? This year at the 42nd FEBS Congress in Jersualem, the FEBS Education Committee is turning its attention to this important element of molecular and cellular life science degree courses. Talks in the Special Session on Monday September 11th will present recent experiences and developments for effective delivery of understanding and training through practicals, and there will be a chance for further exploration and discussion in a Workshop later in the day. The Special Session is also honoured with an opening lecture from Bruce Alberts, one of the authors of the textbook classic 'Molecular Biology of the Cell'.
