Our Outwitting Cancer exhibition featured interviews about using animals in research with group leader Simon Boulton @BoultonLab. Although the in-person exhibition closed recently, you can still watch these videos on our online exhibit page.

Calling all @tsas_norwich literature buffs... OUP Author of the month is Christina Rossetti, who wrote the poem "In the Bleak Midwinter" and my favourite, "Love Came Down at Christmas". Also there's an excerpt from
Christmas Carol to enjoy! https://t.co/Y9nGk2rBY4

Here's an interesting insight into a @Cambridge_Uni student's day. A "supo" is a supervision (I think)- Cambridge's name for a tutorial.

[Cambridge Linguistics @cambtweetling]

Had a pretty busy day today: a typology supo, a lecture and then I hosted a Linguistics Society talk at John’s (it was v interesting!). And tomorrow looks even busier: 2 lectures, a diss supo and 2 hours of Romanian (+ tea and cake with the MML DoSes/students🍰☕️!). #CambTweet
