For health and climate 🤝

Cambridge researchers have developed a filter that can improve indoor air quality whilst also removing methane, a potent greenhouse gas at the forefront of climate change.

CLEAR-Methane is a finalist in the University of Cambridge’s Postdoc Venture Creation Challenge.

On Armistice Day, we pause to honour all those who gave their lives in conflict.

Today at 11am, we will join the nation in a two-minute silence to remember their sacrifice.

We will remember them.

How did this Economics graduate end up working on next-generation Mars robots for NASA?

Meet Lane Painter (Darwin 2022) whose passion for robots took him from Chicago to @eng.cam.ac.uk where the global nature of the MPhil quickly expanded his horizons.
