Day 12
The morning started out with a light shower and everyone was feeling colder than usual. Wei Jun and Ms Teo carried out the trial run for video conferencing before breakfast and it was a success!!
In today’s lesson, we explored the science behind some of the discoveries made in the Cavendish Laboratory, a summary by Tobias and Kyra, paid a visit to the labs and toured the Veterinary school in the afternoon. The Cavendish Laboratory specialises in physics research and produced many discoveries such as electrons through electrical discharge in gases, neutrons and the all famous DNA structure. We viewed exhibits of early apparatus such as mass spectrometers, cloud chambers and electron microscopes.
After viewing the exhibits, we head off to a nearby cafeteria to have high tea and wait for Sophie who would bring us around the Veterinary School which is near the Labs. Sophie has just graduated and is now a qualified vet. We toured the school, got up close with horses and dogs and gain a better understanding of what goes on in a veterinary medicine course.
We cycled back to Girton College and had a barbeque for dinner. There wasn’t much variety for barbeque and we had beef burgers and hot dog buns only. We spotted a mother duck with her ducklings waddling near us and threw some bread to them. After dinner, the international students had a game of volleyball. We were either unsure of how to play the game or didn’t want to have bruised arms. Hence, we played Frisbee or badminton instead. Xiang Loong, Karen and Wei Jun turned out very good players unlike me. Sigh. Anyway, it was fun!!!
