We were incredibly honored to welcome Dr. Isabel Torres from Mothers in Science to #UniversityofWarwick this week! Dr. Torres presented deeply insightful and frankly quite horrifying studies on the treatment of mothers in academia and how parenthood impacts STEMM careers. Great discussions!!

This is one of those true jawdropping moments in science - absolutely crazy cool work from Michael and team 🤩
This week in Science, researchers report an artificial molecular motor that can twist a molecular thread to form a mechanically interlocked molecule. The approach creates opportunities to fabricate mechanically interlocked molecules with precise structural control.
