This Wednesday, the Texas A&M Biosciences group went on a field trip to Bayer in Leverkusen:
Visiting BayKomm was an interesting and interactive way to learn about the ongoing developments and functions of the company. Being able to physically manipulate proteins in 3-D, and drive car simulators enabled all of the students to learn about the scope of Bayer's research and development, as well as the initiatives within the company. Engaging visuals and charts informed us of the issues and problems that Bayer scientists are currently addressing through its divisions in human and animal health, crop science, and materials science. The process and market of drug development surrounds us all everyday, even when we don't notice it. It was a very good experience and very informative.
