Exhibition for #BritishScienceWeek is up - celebrating highlights, trips, extracurricular clubs, careers and more from the department. Postbox for student questions is a personal favourite. As is the exhibit on student perception of 'time' in science British Science Week

Just finished reading this and would highly recommend it (suitable for high level A level students too). It's well researched, constructed and has a clarity that made it easy to read. There’s a review here theguardian.com/books/2022/nov…

🐅Kathy Freeston 🐅 Dr. Shetal AO Another masterpiece from Mr Mukherjee! It's a must, if you haven't yet..

#BritishScienceWeek is in full force and what better time to update you on Snowdrop DNA, a ground-breaking project involving 24 biology pupils. Six of these boys were recently selected to present at the Royal Society's Annual Conference. Full story here: bit.ly/3wVroIN

Great modelling this morning

Genomics impacts all of us - from the ethics of genetic testing to how new treatments are shared. Discover more about science in society below yourgenome.org/explore-genomi…

When a long-term memory forms, some brain cells experience a rush of electrical activity so strong that it snaps their DNA. Then, an inflammatory response kicks in, repairing this damage and helping to cement the memory, a study in mice shows go.nature.com/43DZQns

Therapeutic vaccines could provide a transformative shot in the arm for cancer treatment go.nature.com/3PAvRH1

Early success in the first transplant of a pig kidney into a living person has raised researchers’ hopes for larger clinical trials involving pig organs go.nature.com/4a8q2ZU

Bacteria can exhibit sophisticated responses to stimuli, but should we consider them intelligent? A provocative new book, The Sentient Cell, paves the way for a long-overdue conversation about consciousness. Read the #ScienceBooks Review: scim.ag/6qd

🥳Coming autumn 2024🥳 🟢A fresh look at learning, understanding, cognition and communication according to systems theory. 🟢How systems theory & variation theory are entwined. 🟢Exactly how I enact the ideas. 🟢An appendix of over 40 diagrams and how I've taught them.

Researchers have identified a new bacterium that disables the viruses responsible for dengue and Zika before they can establish an infection in mosquitoes. scim.ag/6Ed

HOW COOL IS THIS? For the FIRST time in ONE BILLION years, two lifeforms have truly merged into one organism. In a new study, researchers report that a nitrogen-fixing organelle has been identified in a marine alga. Meet the Nitroplast! Let’s talk about that! 🧵⬇️

Born #OnThisDay in 1900 was Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. In her doctoral thesis she concluded stars are primarily composed of hydrogen & helium, an idea dismissed by the establishment of the day. It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy."

One of three 4 minute animations we've made for students: How We Learn Learning in the Classroom Learning Independently All part of the Learning Walkthrus toolkit. Test this one out with some students... tutor time, assembly?
