Spent yesterday exploring the Durham University's historical biosciences collection with the curator Gemma Lewis. We want to use it as a learning resource for students. You can read more about it here: stories.durham.ac.uk/ReawakeningB...

Recently one of my former PhD students from China gave me these two lovely gifts! One is a mug with the cover of my recent book on it. The other is a statue of me looking dashing in the glasses I wore when he was in Durham.
