Relay for Life, Sports, Research that Benefits Gibraltar, St John’s, World Oceans Day

It was a powerful and emotional event that brought people together in the fight against cancer and your dedication made a real impact. GBC and Radio Gibraltar were at the Relay for Life this weekend. It was emotional for those of us working, but a real privilege to help heroes, survivors to tell their stories with care, heart and integrity. Shelina Assomul was also covering the event. Jose Mari Ruiz talked sport as Gibraltar are in action again tonight in their 4th world cup qualifier, the second match in this international window after a 7-0 loss to Croatia. He also covered the latest in dressage, Brazilian jiu jitsu, bowling, and women’s cricket. The University of Gibraltar’s conference ‘Research that Benefits Gibraltar’ is in its third edition! It's a chance to highlight the work of PhD Students, Faculty, and Adjunct Researchers. They cover four main topics: marine science, environmental science, health science, and business, management, and law. We spoke to Leon Leanse, University of Gibraltar’s Research Programme Coordinator, as well as PHD students Julia Tibot and Tyson Holmes. St. John - the charity for health and first aid in our community. They always have a presence at big local events, including the Relay for Life this last weekend. Matthew Turnock told us how it went, and spoke about the recent visit of Mark Compton, the Lord Prior of the Order of Saint John since 2019. And, we took a deep dive into the ocean as we spoke to Lewis Stagnetto and Alex Soiza of the Nautilus Project on how World Ocean’s Day was marked in Gibraltar yesterday. It came at the end of Blue Week, where the organisation were busy teaching school kids on invertebrates. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
