Congratulations to our students Tapton School, winners of the Best Research Project at the IRIS awards 2022 for their DNA origami research. Research in Schools. Amazing start to their Science careers, inspiring talks from Dr Adam Rutherford and Dr Maggie Adherin-Pocock The Francis Crick Institute

Hubashia Rizvi Sheffield Hearing Group Understanding the mechanisms driving the maturation of the mammalian cochlea through optogenetics. Great talk including beautiful experiments and discussion of controls. No better way to set foundations to A Level Bio Coordination and Control AQA

IRIS Award Winner - Best Research Project Using 🧬DNA Origami to make a Tesla valve – Tapton School Tapton School The Bragg Centre and Royce at Leeds Read about their novel research and other award winners: researchinschools.org/iris-awards-20…

3 out of 4 teachers saw an increase in students’ ENTHUSIASM 👍and MOTIVATION for science 🔭🧪🧬through IRIS projects. Please read our latest impact report: ow.ly/8EJE50LcYyG #iloveresearch #scienceteachers #edutwitter

Prof Jon Slate @Jon_Slate described how the development of genome sequencing techniques allows us to determine Neanderthal genetics. A fantastic turnout of 80+ Post16 students engaged from the cutting edge Tapton School sites.google.com/sheffield.ac.u…

An amazing week of beyond curriculum science this week with our Post 16s. Tapton School. Journal Club revists our old favourite Tardigrades, Seminar on Neanderthal genome, DNA Origami, MND research and STEM diploma. Research in Schools The Royal Society #partnershipgrants

Thanks to Francesca De Faveri for describing the use of fluorescent microscopy to study how auditory hair cells convert sound into electrical impulses. Fascinating talk and inspirational science! Tapton School Sheffield Hearing Group

James Weber James Weber encouraged our 6th formers to apply their A-Level knowledge to understand the complexities of balance within our "atmospheric reaction vessel". A great introduction to the field of climate science! Tapton School @lc3m_c youtu.be/dhvOJrkhh8I

Transformants! Well done Y12. We're getting good at this! Tapton School Excited to test their phenotypes! Are we edging closer to an #MND discovery? Thanks to Susan Campbell and Guillaume Hautbergue for support. The Royal Society #partnershipgrants Research in Schools

Not the phenotypes we were hoping for! Going to start over to be sure! That's all part of Science! #MND Tapton School The Royal Society #partnershipgrants Research in Schools

Great to have James Weber James Weber present his paper on Climate Chemistry at #Journalclub. Y12s and Y13s discussing using models to predict impact of planting trees on climate change. Our students learning how to learn at University! Nature Communications Research in Schools The University of Sheffield

Clean water for everyone everywhere! An impassioned talk from Matt describing his PhD research into global water management. Matt MacRorie Tapton School.

Cameras in the sky: Using drones and satellites to monitor plant functional traits. Another great seminar presented by @DrHollyCroft Tapton School students learning from the cutting edge NASA | A Year in the Life of Earth's CO2 youtu.be/x1SgmFa0r04 via YouTube

We had a great day! Our students relished the opportunity to discuss their Research!
