Design at Nottingham – you really should have a look
June 14, 2013
I was wandering back from Chemistry earlier (where I was talking to Sam Tang about some very interesting video material we have – watch this space…) and my route to the office took me past the Engineering and Learning Sciences Centre.

Being a lab rat – driving simulator
August 21, 2012
I’ve worked for the University for six years now. One of the things I like most about the job is getting access to cool stuff. I get to hear a lot of the calls for volunteers that researchers put out, looking for guinea pigs to help prove, or disprove, their latest theory. I’ve been in an MRI …

Some more postgrad love from the Research Exchange blog today… Tomorrow sees the fourth annual Institute for Medieval Research (IMR) postgraduate conference hosted by the University.
