The Smith Lab @Dunn_School wins September's Eco Heroes Award for effectively reducing their energy footprint by optimising freezer use. Well done to the whole group! Award presented at the monthly Dunn drinks which was held by the Carvalho and Hassan labs.

A terrific workshop "Physics of Biological Systems" happening in Edinburgh next May! Still room for contributed talks.

Three papers accepted in one week. That won’t ever happen again….

@Edel_PLopez seriously there is NOTHING WRONG with saying that a manuscript is fine as it is and does not need further changes! I think half the problem with peer review is that we all feel under pressure to find flaws, however minor, to show we are doing our jobs.

We are recruiting a new Head of Finance 📣 This is an exciting and key senior role; an essential member of the amazing professional team that supports our life-saving medical research. The deadline is the 22nd of Oct. Please share! Find out more: path.ox.ac.uk/vacancy/head-o…
