✨ Science, comedy, music - all under one roof ✨ @_vish_saha went along to Cosmic UCL at the Bloomsbury Theatre, part of UCL's 200th anniversary celebrations. This night brought many people together, including physicist Helen Czerski, geneticist Adam Rutherford, biochemist Nick Lane, and Olympic Champion Christine Ohuruogu. It truly felt more like a show than a lecture. Produced by UCL Mechanical Engineering, Cosmic UCL was a reminder that science isn’t just something that happens in labs. It’s culture, conversation and creativity too. #UCL #UCL200 #CosmicUCL #ScienceCommunication

Our April Faces of UCL have landed and this month we’re spotlighting some of our health trailblazers! Meet the staff, students and alumni who have developed life-saving cures, vaccines and diagnostic tools, transformed patient care, challenged stigma, widened access to medical education, and fought for fairer, more equitable healthcare systems around the world. Plus, 6 years after the first lockdown, we celebrate those who supported our communities through the COVID-19 pandemic. Discover their stories and all the Faces of UCL via our link in bio. 📷: 1.
