Development, Regeneration, GRN, Evolution. Professor at UCL

London, England
Joined February 2018
Brittle stars, a class of echinoderms, have long intrigued scientists due to their ecological significance. A ground-breaking new study by colleagues in the Division of Biosciences looks at how they evolve and regenerate. Read more: ucl.ac.uk/biosciences/news/2…

I just took part in the #BigPlasticCount, UK’s biggest investigation into household plastic waste. Here’s what I found really happens to my plastic waste: ♻️13% recycled 🌍19% sent abroad 🔥44% burnt ⛰️24% sent to landfill This is shocking, right?! @Jochurchill_MP @pow_rebecca
