Day 4 on the Azores exploring a watermill and learning about the success of conservation efforts of the Azores Bullfinch (Pyrrhula murina)
Our Hike was followed by some misty views of a volcanic crater lake and another dip in some hydrothermal baths at Caldiera Velha, some Portuguese custard tarts and finally, a tour of the bacterial and geological formations in a lava tunnel
Day 2 on the Azores and we have had a lovely hike through some old hydroelectric power plants and learned about renewable energy.
We continued the day by watching a live collection of some cozido das Furnas from the geothermal calderas. The we went to sample the different springs in Furnas including naturally fizzy water!

Team Science are in the Azores learning about its natural history. So far this morning we have learned about how banana trees are grown organically, how the island we are staying on formed and a project to deal with eutrophication at Lagoa das Furnas @RGSCoCurricular
Today's #TSIFriday saw 4 of our sixth form giving some great talks on a range of topics. From explosive to the effects of sunlight on our circadian rhythm from memory metal to synthesises.
We finish the day with some
fascinating oscillating reactions from @SellaTheChemist
This afternoon we heard from @sophiescott about the different scientific disciplines involved in studying laughter
Before lunch @ProfRWinston wowed us before lunch with his talk on human fertility. So many amazing videos of the human body in action!
First up - @GilesYeo on the genetics of obesity; we have learned lots about labradors, bacon and blind Mexican cave fish.
Thank you to the staff @ClevelandClinic for speaking to our Lower Sixth scientists about the diverse range of STEM careers in healthcare. Your thought provoking insights were invaluable as they begin their journeys towards university.
