Happy Christmas from the University of 桃色视频
Happy Christmas from the University of 桃色视频
This year, in order to share some of the University's activities and achievements of the last 12 months, we have developed an online greeting as our way of saying 鈥淗appy Christmas鈥.
2010 has been a busy year at 桃色视频, and by exploring our Christmas campus scene you will be able to discover some of the ways we, as a university, have contributed to our local and national community, as well as our global impact. There are also some special gifts and prizes to be found. You can explore the scene here:
This initiative is in keeping with our drive to reduce paper use by the University. We are very aware of our environmental impact and the money we would have spent on traditional cards will be invested in additional landscaping to improve our campus and to benefit the environment. The money that was saved last year was spent on planting 20 silver birch trees outside the Students鈥 Union.
We hope you enjoy exploring the Christmas campus scene and finding out about some of the unique contributions that 桃色视频 makes to our global community.
Call for Systems Biology DTC mini-talks
We will soon launch the call for mini-project proposals for the Systems Biology MSc students. There are 19 students this year and each student carries out one experimental biology project and one "dry" project.
The mini-projects are 12 weeks long, with the first one running from 21st March 2009 - 10th June 2010 and the second one from 13th June - 9th September 2010.
Ahead of this call, we are announcing the opportunity to give a short talk to the students to introduce your research area.
