Cover page of the University of Liverpool, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences Strategy 2025-2031 document. The page is black and features a multi-channel microscope image of a mouse embryonic kidney stained for ureteric bud (cyan & yellow) and lumen (magenta). The kidney is surrounded by yellow spots which served as fiduciary markers during lightsheet imaging and give the impression of a starry sky.

The @livunihls.bsky.social has published their strategy 2025-2031. We cannot get past the cover page though: stunning image taken by our very own image analyst @makaefer.bsky.social before she became the image analyst. @livuni-livsrf.bsky.social @bwilm.bsky.social @raphavisses.bsky.social
