Would you like to make 'Elephant Toothpaste', do some experiments with Dry Ice, or learn how to make ice cream using Liquid Nitrogen? Then come along to our Open Day this Saturday.
Original printed copies of the Periodic Table are going on public display in an exhibition curated by our Teaching Fellow, Dr Peter Wothers, to celebrate the Table's 150th anniversary.
Recognition for the researcher inspiring female scientists

A female professor here who is described as "generous, supportive, and particularly encouraging of the ambitions of her female co-workers" received a prestigious Suffrage Science Award on International Women's Day.
The Science Museum has invited researchers from this department to showcase their work on 'the chemistry of colour' as part of its series of events celebrating 150 years of the periodic table.
On the eve of Darwin Day, a book about him is published by one of our Research Associates to foster young children's curiosity about the natural world and stimulate their interest in science.

For his work in "markedly advancing non-natural amino acid technology and demonstrating its power for biological discovery" Professor Jason Chin has been awarded The Raymond and Beverly Sackler International Prize in Chemistry 2019.
As the International Year of the Periodic Table is officially launched, our Teaching Fellow Dr Peter Wothers has been telling the BBC how it came to be, why it is perfect – and whether aliens would have it too.
A biopharmaceutical company co-founded by scientists here in the department has received significant funding to help it develop its unique approach to investigating protein misfolding diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
Researchers in the Department are using their expertise in air quality sensors to support the new Breathe London project launched by Mayor Sadiq Khan earlier this week.
Many congratulations to our colleague, Professor David Klenerman. He has received a knighthood in the New Year Honours List for his contribution to the development of high-speed DNA sequencing technology.
Lattice models provide fast and accurate way to simulate DNA self-assembling
Researchers in this department have proposed a model for accurately simulating DNA self-assembly that balances the need for accuracy within the confines of current computing power.
Researchers identify a tau homeostasis signature that underlies Alzheimer’s disease

Researchers have long known that Alzheimer’s is characterized by abnormal clusters of rogue misfolded proteins. A healthy brain has a “quality control system” that effectively keeps them at bay. But problems start when this system goes wrong.
