Oh maybe that doesn’t translate well over this short video clip, but it lasted over 10 mins and this added extra context. We all loved it 😍
We found a giant UCL sign!
Getting ready for #UCL200 where our lab will be in the Yellow room. Excited to be part of the celebrations 🎉
UCL is honestly the best University I’ve ever experienced. Super bright, open, creative & collaborative colleagues and students. What an institution ♥️
Today, UCL turns 200. 🎉 For two centuries, our community has opened doors, challenged convention and pushed the boundaries of knowledge across every discipline. Thank you to everyone who’s been part of the UCL story, here’s to the next century. ✨

I understand UKRI's need to restructure, but MRC reducing awards for applications already under review feels like a retrospective rule change. Applicants invested serious time based on expected success rates. Changing the deal after submission breaks a social contract.
Agreed, this is an excellent point, especially given the amount of work needed for an application where careful consideration is given at the outset based on %funded. Wishing you best of luck with your applications
