Celebrating 5 years of Piscopia! 🥳 Have a read (and share!) of our newsletter to hear about the highlights of the last half decade ✨️ piscopia.co.uk/2025/01/07/202… #celebration

Last week, two of our undergraduates - Tommy Ilgunas and Ruby Keily-Thurstain (both MMath with Research Placement students) attended #Piforum24 at the University of Leicester, presenting posters of the research they undertook over summer. (1/3)

PiFORUM24 was a great success with 68 attendees, 30 talks, 15 posters, 8 prize winners, 3 flash talks, 2 workshops and 1 rhombic triacontahedron! Thank you to everyone who helped make it happen and who came along 🥳
