Yakult is proud to supply the England and GB Hockey Team
As well as supporting the GB Rowing Team, Yakult is excited to announce the supply of Yakult to the GB Hockey Team. Recently, Yakult supplied the GB Men’s’ Hockey team at the Champions Trophy in New Zealand, where they finished in 6th place, narrowly missing out to Germany.
We wish the GB Women’s’ hockey team luck for the FIH Champions Trophy in Rosario, Argentina, taking place from 28th January to 5th February. Many eyes will be watching this competition as it is the last major international tournament before the London Olympic Games 2012 in August.
MiSAC Annual Competition 2012
It will come as no surprise to learn that we at Yakult have always been passionate about science - in fact, soon after setting up the Yakult company, Dr. Shirota (himself a scientist), established the Yakult Central Institute for Microbiological Research.
Yakult is supporting MiSAC Annual Competition 2012
The Microbiology in Schools Advisory Committee (MiSAC) is a charity which promotes the teaching of microbiology in schools. This year it has chosen to team up with Yakult to support the popular MiSAC annual competition.
This year’s competition title, Fit for purpose: microbes and healthy living, has been chosen with the aim of improving understanding of the contribution of the activities of microbes to healthy living, and enabling this knowledge to be used for promoting the importance of healthy eating habits.
Prizes totalling £1,000 are awarded to winning entrants and their schools. In addition, each entrant is awarded a certificate, and their school receives some microbiology teaching materials.
The competition is open to KS3 and KS4 entry groups (S1/2 and S3/4 in Scotland). The object is to produce a one A4 page news article for a healthy living magazine. The closing date is 20 February 2012.
