By shifting the reaction away from the electrode surface, it also reduces unwanted byproducts. The process works in a flow reactor and can cut greenhouse gas emissions by about 30% compared with conventional routes.

"That's 50 years. You might have 2 or 3 different yet successful careers."

Let that sink in. Prof. Tracey from #Oxford gives the ultimate reassurance to the overwhelmed. Chill out and explore.

The path unfolds as you walk.

We always say no pain, no gain… but what if some pain brings no gain at all?

We asked neuroscientist and Oxford VC, Prof. Irene Tracey. 'Good Pain is that quick "ouch!" when your finger grazes a candle flame. Bad Pain is ignoring it and letting it burn.'

The study shows how visual learning is strengthened during awake periods through precise photic stimulation. No invasive tools needed—just a simple method to enhance learning and brain plasticity.

Could flashing lights be the future of accelerated learning? 🧠💡

Their analysis shows that commensal leopard cats lived in human settlements at least 5,400 years ago and persisted until 150 CE, while domestic cats entered China around 730 CE through Silk Road routes.

As Professor Tracey reminded us: “By having students from my country and yours meet to study and socialize, and through that find common ground across boundaries of language, geography, culture, and politics, we are creating a more stable future society.”

In her keynote lecture, Professor Tracey reflected on her journey from first-generation university student at a state school to eminent neuroscientist and Oxford’s Vice-Chancellor, emphasizing that “Education is still the most powerful and effective tool for opportunity and social mobility we have.”

Led by Zhang Yao & PhD candidate Qiu Jinghao, the team found that antecedent climate anomalies contribute to over 38.2% of the drop in ecosystem productivity during extremes. This “memory effect” provides a crucial, observation-constrained benchmark for predicting carbon fluxes under climate change.

The method enables sensitive detection of electron transfer, bond breaking, and molecular/proton diffusion, offering a new tool for understanding interfacial reactions.

The study was selected as an Editors’ Suggestion, and Physics (APS) featured it in a Viewpoint article.

Researchers cocultured Chlamydomonas reinhardtii with river bacteria and found that while both were suppressed alone, together they exhibited hormesis under several antibiotics, especially azithromycin (AZM). This highlights how microbial cooperation reshapes pollutant effects in aquatic ecosystems.
