To promote their upcoming participation at the Science in the City project, The Zone is conducting a series of interviews with various young scientists and students who dedicate their time to discovering the world of medicine, biology, chemistry, or computer engineering.
In this interview Emily Sammut, a student in applied food and nutritional science and Karl Montebello, a student in applied biomedical science, introduce their respective courses and reveal just how important their roles in society can be.
Such scientists are almost never in the spotlight, yet their knowledge and skills help tremendously in the diagnosis and the decision-making process of treating patients.
