Times have been tumbling since we relaxed the ‘giving it a push’ guidelines. #readingcommunityfestival

3D printer in action! But what’s it going to be? #readingcommunityfestival

The races are on at the 360 building! #readingcommunityday

Showing off our 3D printing exploits… #readingcommunityfestival

Why do we get a petting zoo in just to help our students take a break from the library and de-stress during the exam period?

Because we're the G.O.A.T that's why!

...Not to be confused with the picture which is an actual goat 🐐

Our Associate Director insisted on being the first to try on our new Technical Services t-shirts! #fashionvictim #nofilter #readingcommunityfestival

Why have technicians taken over part of 360?!? Find out tomorrow at the University of Reading Community Festival! #readingcommunityfestival

We were proud to represent Uni of Reading #Technicians at the Technician Commitment signatory event in Cardiff yesterday, where we picked up this #Impact award.
Congratulations to all involved!

Lovely buzz in the room with over 100 signatory institutions represented. We’re thrilled to see plenty of new and familiar faces joining us today! #InceptionToImpact 💫

Did you know that #technicians are eligible for the Royal Society of Chemistry Education prizes? Nominate today and recognise the great work individuals technicians and teams contribute across chemical science - no need to be a member of the RSC!

#TechniciansMakeItHappen Technician Commitment The UK Institute for Technical Skills & Strategy

Last week our Environmental Science students had a ‘dry run’ with the equipment in preparation of their week long field class in Scotland next month! 💚🌿

@TechServ Doctoral and Researcher College, Uni of Reading UoR BioSci

Our #technicians are actively engaging in research during their everyday work as well as part of their research carieer. We are lucky to have several of our colleagues undertaking their further education whilst still fulfilling their technician's duties.

It's one week to go until our Sustainable Travel Day on 6 March! Come along to Palmer Quad between 11am and 2pm to explore the benefits of sustainable modes of transport.

There's a meditative nature walk at 11:30 and campus cycle ride at 13:30 - see our Linktree
