So apparently I’m the first official woman orator @uniofleicester graduations!
I’m lucky enough to give the oration for the rather incredible Lord Simon Woolley, whose achievements include setting up Operation Black Vote.
Graduation 2023 is here! 🎓🌹
Congratulations to all our graduating students. We are so proud of you and cannot wait to celebrate all your achievements this week!
We'll be celebrating across our channels, so be sure to tag us in your posts and use the hashtag #Gradcaster
Our Dr Bryan Williams was interviewed by BBC Radio Lancashire this morning about the important hand identification research he is leading here at Lancaster and how members of the public can help. Listen again after 1hr 53mins @HUniqueProject@BryW85 https://t.co/xVY2YTtdtW
Our scientists are developing forensic tools to help identify and convict abusers. And they need businesses and community groups to help. Learn more about @HUniqueProject and how to get involved

With the images contributed, we have developed world-leading research in feature identification and extraction. Please get involved at https://t.co/kyjJy8Mq8c as we move into the next stage of understanding anatomical variation in the hand.

Did you know? The pattern of veins in our hands differs so much from person to person, some of those veins don't even have a name.
Huge thanks to Ricki Boswell-Challand from @LancasterUni for giving us

Getting the most reliable memories from eyewitnesses doesn't look like what we often see on crime shows.
Huge thanks to Charlie Frowd from @UCLan for showing us this leading-edge technique to produce images of suspects! #XmasLectures
As academics, most of us never see the inside of a courtroom. So don't forget to tune into the @Ri_Science#XmasLectures on #BBC4 tonight at 8pm to see some cool science and watch us sweat.
