In 1937, the College's Christmas card featured a drawing showing a view of St Peter's College from what was then the Oxford Canal Coal Wharf. We spy the Emily Morris Building, Staircases I-III, Canal House, and the Chapel tower. As you can see, the artist had some real-life inspiration! #TBT

Our students wrote, produced and acted in their very own St Peter's Pantomime! 'Snow White and the Seven Dudes' was written by Madi Bouchta (English, 2024) and Maisie Saunders (Physics, 2023). We spy quite a few St Peter's faces in the cast! 🍏

Why control photon spin from OLEDs using molecular handedness when you can do it electrically? Check out our new preprint. Very excited about this one! @oxfordchemistry.bsky.social #Chemsky #Physics 🧪
