Do you know about the link between HPV (human papillomavirus) and cervical cancer? Anyone with a cervix can get cervical cancer, and it is one of the most common cancers in women under the age of 44 - so the more we learn about it, the more it can be detected, treated - and even prevented.
In our activity you can learn more with our hands-on microscope showcase, card match-up mini quiz and the story of the 'human train'!
*Can you tell which cells are which under the microscope?
*Test your knowledge with the mini quiz!
*Learn how cells can get hijacked by the virus.
