Congratulations to all our students who are graduating this week. Significantly less material in trousers and fewer hats these days than in this photo from the Archives.

👋 Meet Ben, our summer intern!
He’s working on boosting the quality of our Altmetric data by increasing DOIs in Pure. To support this, he’s built a Power BI dashboard that helps us track and analyse the data for better planning.
