Evidence based tips

Having access to recorded lectures is very popular with students but many don't get the most out of it. The guide on the new page outlines some key ideas you can use to learn better from recorded lectures.

As part of the new guidance, you should now wear a face covering when indoors to help limit the spread of the virus, and they are required in University libraries (unless you are exempt). In addition, you should cancel all Christmas parties and gatherings in University buildings, and elsewhere where they are linked with studying at the University. 

The journey so far

I have scripts ready to recite when asked about myself around new people. Depending on my audience and/or how much energy I have, I will answer anywhere from PhD student to plant functional ecologist to poker of plants. It is perhaps one of the hardest statements for me to address in full, as I have a complex web of interests and typically only share a small slice of who I am.

Under no circumstances should you send any submissions or deposits via post or print services. If you plan to submit work online during the vacation, please be aware that there will be no administrative and limited IT support to help with any technical issues. Any queries will be responded to when the office reopens in January 2022. Please refer to the table below for exact dates and times:

CyanoCapture was founded in January 2021 and aims to provide affordable, long term carbon capture on an industrial scale by harnessing genetically modified cyanobacteria.

The importance of the Race Equality Task Force

Nearly 50% of students responded to the survey, which closed on Friday 5 November, with 98% reporting that they were vaccinated, (95% fully and 3% partially). There were virtually no differences in vaccination rates between different colleges and departments. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. As previously communicated, it will not be possible for your college or department to know your vaccination status as a result of taking part.

It has been a privilege to have been part of the Race Equality Task Force for a few months now. The work of the Task Force is so important to not only bring the topic of diversity and inclusion within the University to the table, but to also consider the practical steps that can be made in order to achieve sustainable change.

Here are a few steps you can take to minimise risks: 
 
•    Wear a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces where you come into contact with people you do not normally meet
•    Let fresh air in indoors: keeping windows and doors open increases ventilation and significantly reduces the spread of COVID-19. Please keep them open, particularly in areas which are poorly ventilated
