The @SGDPCentreKCL is open again!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Wonderful to restart lab research and provide some office space. Here is @L_Arseneault in her jungle office.

Thanks to all who worked so hard to reopen and @KingsIoPPN security for keeping building - and plants - safe for 5 months.

SGDP 1920’s Prohibition Christmas Party

It was a brilliant experience, and the joy of watching the innocent 'wow moment' when they see DNA appear in the tube is amazing!! Be it a three year old or a sixty year old, the feeling is priceless!! Love science!!

Yesterday, @SGDPCentreKCL's @Kings_SGDP_Lab inspired the next generation of scientists, extracting DNA from strawberries at action-packed #NewScientistLive.
