Researchers have shown that human-caused climate change will have important consequences for how volcanic gases interact with the atmosphere.

Congratulations to Dr Robert Phipps, who has been appointed to the position of University Lecturer.

Members of Professor Angelos Michaelides’ ICE research group have been raising funds for WaterAid at a triathlon event at Castle Howard in York.

After last year’s Covid-imposed hiatus, a number of enthusiastic researchers joined together to play cricket in the University Inter-departmental Cricket League in June and July.

Startling inequities in research funding distribution create a huge, unacknowledged barrier to women in the STEMM subjects, said Professor Rachel Oliver in a departmental webinar in June.

PhD student Tim Welsh represented Cambridge University Cycling Club in the National 24-hour Time Trial Championships in July, placing 4th out of a total of 63 competitors on a blisteringly sunny weekend in July.

A massive volcanic eruption in Indonesia about 74,000 years ago likely caused severe climate disruption in many areas of the globe, but early human populations were sheltered from the worst effects.

Researchers here have developed a new approach which allows them to identify hundreds of DNA-protein interactions in living cells, in a step toward unravelling their role in cancer cell development.

Professor Clare Grey of this Department has been awarded the Körber European Science Prize 2021, worth one million euros.

The success of PhD student David Izuogu’s initiative to help African students apply for postgraduate programmes in Cambridge means more mentors are needed.
