[UCLMERS @uclmers]

🎉 This week we've got lots of new PhDs & postdocs @uclmecheng starting this academic year 2022/2023! Welcome!!

We thought we'd help get you all started by introducing each of us on the current MERS committee (& a few other cool people you should know)...

🧵 (1/n)

[Research Complex at Harwell @RCatHarwell]

A big welcome to our visitors from @uclmers, as our Associate Director John Hand and Professor @PeterDLee3 introduce the breadth of research facilities available on site. Next on the agenda: tours of @DiamondLightSou and @isisneutronmuon.

[UCLMERS @uclmers]

The MERS committee is ready and waiting for the best researchers to compete in this year's UCL Engineering Cup 2023! @UCLEngineering

[UCL Institute of Healthcare Engineering @Health_Eng]

Join us Wednesday to learn:

🍺 How a festival misadventure led to a career in x-ray imaging

⚽️ How footballers and surgeons can benefit from data-driven coaching

🚽 Why the lymphatic system is the 'sewer system' of the body

Fantastic @uclnews #repaircafe at the @of_Making today! Great to see so many people bringing their broken but treasured objects to learn how to repair and repurpose them. Shout-out to all volunteers including @uclmecheng @uclmers #Sustainability #righttorepair #engineering

[Tom Peach @thetompeach]

Final day push of the @uclmecheng Mechathon where @uclnews students are spending two days in #MechSpace designing, building, and testing hydraulic arms! Looking forward to the competition later 🏆 #engineering #hackathon #design

🎟️ Book tickets by 31st January to attend!

[Matchy Ma @mamatchyma]

Happy to share that the annual workshop of @uclrobotics will be held on 17 February at @ucl. Don’t miss out this great opportunity to catch up with the latest cutting-edge research in robotics from across @ucl. https://t.co/G991rb88Dk

[UCLMERS @uclmers]

👀 Oh look! Another opportunity to become a future MERS member by applying to do a PhD with @markmiodownik here! 💜

[Mark Miodownik @markmiodownik]

Fully funded materials science PhD available with me on developing sustainable tree shelters for the billions of trees worldwide that need to be planted and protected.

[UCLMERS @uclmers]

👀 Come join us @uclmecheng by applying for this fantastic PhD studentship with @Giorgia_Bosi! 💜

[Tom Peach @thetompeach]

We had a great time hosting the @TheEDTUK Industrial Cadets at @uclmecheng MechSpace! Lots of fun and innovative design ideas taking shape on the screen and in the workshop over the past two days. #engineering #stem @ucl

One of our IHE mpact Fellows, Katherine Wang, is featured in @uclnews.

Spurred by her late uncle's experience with lymphoedema, Katherine is developing a wearable device that can alleviate pain from the condition.
