Pole dance can be quite a brutal sport! In this video, Katie-lou explains how bruise colours reveal their age and origin and also talks about her research on cancer detection. Using multispectral endoscopes, she aims to differentiate between early cancer and precancerous lesions.

In this video Katie-lou White, a PhD student at the Cavendish Laboratory, talks about the physics behind the acrobatic sport of pole dancing! 🤸‍♀️ She dives into the push-pull dynamics, friction's role, and the magic of angular momentum behind every move. #ScienceAndSport

🌟 Year 9 students participated in the Cavendish Outreach activities at the Cambridge Maths School last week. They put their skills to test by building bridges and hanging 100-gram mass as far from the table edge as possible. The winning distance was 112cm!

Congratulations to PhD student Jesús Arjona Martínez for making it to the 'Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2024' list! 🌟 Jesús has been recognised for his research in #QuantumCommunication aimed at creating secure digital communication in future. buff.ly/3xEK3ce

New findings by Paul Rimmer and Oliver Shorttle Oliver Shorttle reveal an exciting theory on the #OriginsOfLife . It suggests a process known as graphitisation could create chemicals that may be a key step in the development of life. Read the article here - buff.ly/4azkBTU
