Lockdown Baking

When the lockdown started, the Sir William Dunn School of Pathology student and postdoc associations set up a virtual ‘social club’, where anyone in the department could suggest or organise social activities. They wanted to make sure that ‘physical distancing’ did not mean ‘social distancing’. The famous ‘Dunn School spirit’ did not disappoint, and from Dungeons and Dragons evenings to mid-morning coffee breaks, they have been able to keep the social soul of the department going in these testing times. One exciting new addition to their departmental social calendar has been ‘Come Dunn with me’, their new virtual cooking masterclasses.
