Scientists in Sport, the 2012-inspired GlaxoSmithKline schools outreach programme
Issue 345 | Page 55 | Published Jun 2012
Description
The GlaxoSmithKline Scientists in Sport team have worked with 4science to provide resources and offer activities for use by schools to show the relevance of science in sport. Much of the content looks at anti-doping and the science involved with detecting the misuse of banned substances. Through the development of a website, this work can continue up to and beyond the London 2012 Olympic Games.
