Last week we launched "IfM Skills Workshops", an occasional series focusing on methods and research skills. Sri Sai Priya Avuthu and Louison Thorens got us off to a great start in the inaugural workshop - hopefully the first of many - all about techniques for quantification of fluorescence images!

Yesterday we were treated to a fantastic talk from Prof. Larry Bonassar (Cornell), courtesy of the #Northeastern Bioengineering seminar series. It was very interesting to see how our understanding of the structure and function of articular cartilage has evolved over recent years!
