Have you ever wanted to watch a light show from space?
Astronauts on the @Space_Station watch Earth’s atmosphere light up from airglow when atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere react to the Sun and emit light.
How are you experiencing the Sun during the #HelioBigYear?

Year 10 triple students have been learning about protein synthesis and made stop-motion videos across two lessons using plasticine and independent research to produce short videos in groups demonstrating the concept. They are so good!

Smashing Stereotypes in for life, not just for British Science Week!
All the profiles and videos are still available, and are a perfect tool for demonstrating to young people that science is for everyone, and it can be found in everything!

Ms Jarman has been exploring electrical circuits and how they work with Year 6 Cambridge Class this afternoon. What a lovely practical way to explain this! @SRA_Science

As part of Science week, our Year 5 Imperial class enjoyed using the bioviewers to take a look at slides of: different cell structure, digestion, how living things breathe and even human blood!
They had a great time reading the information and finding out facts.

"We had a sense that we were onto something big," says 2020 Chemistry Laureate Jennifer Doudna on the start of her "curiosity-driven" research into CRISPR.
Listen to our interview with the new laureate, recorded shortly after today’s announcement of her #NobelPrize.

Since this year's Chemistry Laureates Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna invented CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors they have reshaped the life sciences.
In this TED talk Doudna explains their discovery, as well as its implications.
