On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we honour the incredible contributions that women continue to make in shaping the future of science and innovation. At the NCBE, we’re proud to stand as a team of talented and passionate women, dedicated to advancing education

Find out how to get the best results using our NCBE bacterial transformation kit. It is very simple to use and it is cheaper than our main competitor at only £85!! why not let your students experience the wonders of fluorescent bacteria! #GFP youtu.be/vli2ZJdhonw

NCBE PCR kit... no bands for basil or sage (as expected) but we did get some lovely results for coriander, tarragon and parsley. The lab also smelt fantastic after crushing these up! #PCR #plants #plantevolution ncbe.reading.ac.uk/the-pcr-and-pl…

This year, the School of Chemistry, Food Science, and Pharmacy @uniofreading is heading out to local schools to inspire students with engaging science talks for British Science Week! British Science Week #STEM #CommunityEngagement #ScienceInAction #BSW25

Thank you to @theholtschool for welcoming Dr Jessica Kirwin–Gusthart on Friday for the first of our British science week talks. Thank you again Jessica for representing @uniofReading and @unirdg_chem. More talks at local schools coming up this week! #BritishScienceWeek #BSW25

As part of #BSW25 Uni of Reading have been visiting local schools, on Tuesday Dr. Walton and Prof. Gibson from @readingunifood gave a talk at ;, exploring the fascinating world of the microbiome! Thank you to everyone who attended and for the warm welcome. #STEM

More from @uniofreading for #BSW25! Last week, Dr. Suha Dadou from @unirdg_pharm visited @utcreading and delivered an exciting talk on 'A Day in the Life of a Pharmaceutical Scientist.' The session was attended by over 200 students! Thank you to @utcreading for the warm welcome!

Yesterday, our Pharmacology Ambassadors visited New College Swindon, where they led our hands-on Muddled Medicines practical with students and shared insights about studying Pharmacology at @uniofreading @unirdg_pharm. A huge thank you to @newcollswindon for hosting us #STEM

Our ambassadors Food & Nutrition visited Herschel Grammar yesterday to talk to their Food Preparation and Nutrition class It was fantastic to share insights about the world of food science and the exciting career opportunities in the field with their students. Thank you for having us!

This year the theme for the Reading scholars programme in SCFP is sugar! Today we have kicked things off with a glucose chemistry practical UniRdg Chemistry and a food sensory session Food & Nutrition all to do with different sugars, hopefully it has been a sweet experience!

Yesterday @Uniofreading we were excited to welcome students to our Scientists of the Future Day for lots of exciting hands-on experiments, all aimed at igniting a love of science. Their enthusiasm was contagious! Huge thanks to all who made it possible #SciFD25 #ScienceForAll

We’re thrilled to be exhibiting at this year’s scitechconf in Birmingham. Be sure to stop by our stand, we’d love to meet you and have a chat! We’re also hosting a workshop on helping technicians gain confidence in using micropipettes and loading gels! Make sure to sign up!
