Our leading experts on the science of ageing will be inspiring the local community to embrace their inner scientist in a series of free, interactive workshops in Ramsgate this weekend 👴 🔬

The workshops, hosted in collaboration with Discovery Planet, will see Biogerontologist, Dr Jennifer Tullet, and Microbiologist, Dr Emma Hargreaves, run a series of family-friendly activities to introduce the wonderful world of scientific worms, what they can teach us about our own bodies and ways to keep it healthy.

Supported by a number of students and researchers from Dr Tullet’s lab, participants will have the chance to view the worm, C.elegans, under the microscope and examine how the different stages of the worm’s development relate to those of the human lifecycle.

Our review on the mechanisms underlying the pharmacological actions of the Pelargonium sidoides root extract EPs 7630. Herbal medicine deserve to be taken seriously, including investigating them like any other drug class. @markwassy @biokent @UniKent

1st time in a podcast! This series has been a huge project from the @iscbsc led by @AnaCastillo_51! 🙌

It's an honor to be interviewed for it, just some months before retiring from the ISCB Student Council! I hope it is useful for people outside of our field and students! ⭐️

We have a poster on drug-resistant #Cancer cell lines in @NatureComms, not a big thing but still nice...

Holding a UK general election during the university holidays appears to have dampened turnout in many seats where students live during term time, @nickhillman @HEPI_news analysis suggests.

In a new poll, 44% of adults in Britain believe that presenting a polling card alone would be sufficient to cast their vote under the UK’s new voter ID rules.
If you don’t bring an accepted form of photo ID, you will be turned away on polling day. https://t.co/G4Sh32Gt3V
