Did you know you can predict type 1 diabetes by testing for autoantibodies? What if we could reduce the impact of undiagnosed diabetes with quick, affordable tests that only need a couple of drops of blood and could be undertaken as part of a routine screening programme. Explore the future use of testing to predict who will get type 1 diabetes and how this research can save lives. Video created by Matthew J Randell

During the Cold War, when the Soviet Union and the United States were competing to develop atomic weapons and go to space, machine translation was being developed in the Soviet Union - but back in the 1960s it was nothing like Google Translate! Some of the Soviet theorists had never even seen a computer, which were the size of rooms. The dream was to be able to translate automatically technical and scientific material obtained by Soviet spies in the USA. Video created by Suzanne Eade Roberts

Play a short video game looking at the best strategies to help us return to ‘normality’ while living in a covid world. Developed with endcoronavirus.org (ecv: a global volunteer coalition helping end the pandemic) Chris Moreno-Stokoe was part of a global team of volunteers who developed this game. It shows that the fastest way back to 'normality' in the game is to have short and severe lockdowns. Other strategies taken in the game such as no lockdown, or going in and out of lockdowns were ineffective. Session created by  Chris Moreno-Stokoe:

Take a trip back in time by 2,700 million years, to a world without plants, animals or even air. The story of life goes back further than dinosaurs and giant man-eating reptiles. It extends to an inhospitable rocky landscape with crashing waves and a toxic atmosphere where the beginnings of life as we know it were brewing as microscopic biofilms. This session focuses on how the evolution of antioxidants provides insight into the origin of life on Earth.

Move your cursor over the interactive buttons on this page to know more about my project.

In my project I study the ways in which women's comics evolved in the US between the 1970s-2000s. What are some of the alternative ways of visualising women in popular culture that these texts offer? How do they challenge norms? How can comics be used as a medium to express feminist thought?

The1970s was an important decade for women's comics. It saw the emergence of an alternative mode of (graphic) storytelling that shifted the way women appeared on the page. Challenging conventional depictions, comics about women reinvented ways in which women were represented in popular culture.

If the earliest women's liberation comics engaged with the question of women and the external world, the later works began to capture complexities of the inner world. How can identities and inner conflicts be expressed graphically?
