Had a wonderful time presenting our work on trypanosome mitochondrial stress responses at #embo workshop on #proteinqualitycontrol in Crete last week, despite the earthquake! Thank you to @embo.org and @biochemsoc.bsky.social for supporting my attendance ☀️🌴🔬🧬

Ella presenting on trypanosome cell biology

Thanks to Rochdale Sixth Form College, Settle College and Cardinal Newman College for taking part in our #Biosciences Masterclass. Research students Hannah Pyle and Ella Southern delivered a taster lecture on #trypanosomiasis (a #NeglectedTropicalDisease caused by #trypanosome parasites) (1/2)

Science fair stall

Day two of #FurnessStemShow2025 - hundreds of strawberries have had their DNA extracted, lots of amazed mini-scientists! A busy day for our @blslancasteruni.bsky.social #Outreach and #StudentAmbassadors 🧬🥼🧪🧫
