Now Open: PharmaComedy Competition
Our first-ever PharmaComedy competition is now open – and the deadline is fast approaching!
This is your chance to celebrate the lighter side of pharmacology and share what makes you laugh. Inspired by the late Alexander (Sandy) McKnight, a brilliant scientist and beloved Society member known for his sharp wit and unforgettable humour, this competition honours his legacy by bringing joy and laughter to our community.
The winner will receive a £100 cash prize from the British Pharmacological Society, and their entry will be featured on the BPS website.
