2nd day SoBS #PhD/Work #shadowing
In the words of one of the visiting 6th formers this experience offered 'An amazing insight to higher education lab-based research' & 'invaluable access to knowledgeable and friendly students'
@sotonbiosci @UoSDocCollege @sotonbsps @UoS_Schools

[Soton BioSci CORE @SotonCORE]

A quote from one of our visitors:
'It was nice to be split into smaller groups as it gave us a chance to really question the PhD student about their work. I enjoyed actually being able to try some of the lab techniques.'

[Soton BioSci CORE @SotonCORE]

First of our #PhD/work #shadowing days with 35 highly motivated regional 6th-formers visiting for a hands-on experience in the lab and some quality time with our postgrads. @sotonbiosci @SotonNeuro @sotonbsps @UoSDocCollege @unisouthampton @UoS_Engagement

The virtual #opendays are nice, but there is no substitute for the real thing with subject-specific and 'meet the lecturer' talks, lab demos, and lots of our great students and staff on hand to answer your questions.

We're looking forward to our @unisouthampton Open Day tomorrow! If you can't make it, take a tour of our campus in the comfort of your own home with our Virtual Open Day: https://t.co/lftkg0c4Th #UoSOpenDay #ChooseBiosci

Comfort for new parents: Babies do eventually develop a circadian rhythm allowing you return to a more regular sleep/wake cycle. Below is a classic figure on this topic (Helbruegge, 1960; each row = 1 day with sleep in black and wake in white; sleep is regular at wk 15)

From making a figure to starting a company and from drawing a scientific comic to winning a Nobel prize, there may be something to learn here for biologists at all levels.

[Soton BioSci CORE @SotonCORE]

Well done Beth!

[Herman Wijnen BioSci @hw3a11]

3rd publication from Bethan Shaw's PhD just came out in Crop Protection: A closer look at insecticide effectiveness in the horticultural pest Spotted Wing Drosophila.

⏲️🧬🔬 SoBS science on BBC podcast.

[Herman Wijnen BioSci @hw3a11]

Back in November I was interviewed about the impact of constant darkness on humans for this BBC podcast. Worth a listen if this is the sort of thing you might wonder about. @sotonbiosci @sotonCORE @sotonNeuro
