Fancy tasting ice cream made with liquid nitrogen, building a wind turbine or dancing like a sound wave? Youngsters with a passion for science will be able to enjoy some real-life experiments at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½â€™s Science Gala next week.

A ‘great’ space weather super-storm large enough to cause significant disruption to our electronic and networked systems occurred on average once in every 25 years according to a new joint study by the ¹û¶³´«Ã½ and the British Antarctic Survey.

Two ¹û¶³´«Ã½ researchers have contributed to a new report from the Nuffield Council on Bioethics which urges Governments, funders, and research bodies to take action to ensure that research is undertaken ethically during global health emergencies such as the current coronavirus outbreak.

Infectious diseases could be detected, prevented and controlled thanks to a new £4m grant from the NIHR to the ¹û¶³´«Ã½. Researchers will work with partners to develop the use of cutting edge genomics to protect public health.

Applications are now open for the second Data Science for Social Good Summer Fellowship being held at the ¹û¶³´«Ã½.

The Data Science for Social Good (DSSG) initiative was started at the University of Chicago in 2013 and sees students, PhDs, graduates and data science enthusiasts come together to learn new skills and work on projects submitted by charities, public organisations and social enterprises.
