🧠 Can AI help doctors decide how to treat brain cancer? ✍️ Read our latest blog as Nardiena Pratama explores how AI is being used to tackle Glioblastoma (GBM) and what this emerging technology could mean for the future of cancer care: eusci.org.uk/2026/08/31/c...

Text reads: What currently requires an invasive procedure could potentially be performed computationally. This would, in turn, reduce the anxiety and stress that the patient experiences from having to face surgical risks, waiting for recovery, and experiencing anxiety from waiting [13].

Brain scans in the background with text reading: “This highlights the need for researchers to not only focus on making these solutions robust and reliable but also transparent and understandable to those who use them. This is just one example of how AI could transform modern medicine—a routine MRI scan may contain more information about a tumour than meets the eye, and researchers are now working to uncover it.”

A new episode of Not Another Science Podcast has just been launched! 🧬 Our podcast hosts Amelie and Tori sat down with Dr. Glauco Souza, now currently director of Global Business, Development, and Innovation at Greiner Bio-One. Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcast! 🎧 #SciComm #EUSci #uoe

This image shows a digital podcast player interface. The central "now playing" card features the title "3D cell culture at Greiner Bio-One: new technologies for personalised medicine" with Dr. Glauco R. Souza. The artwork depicts the same Petri dish illustration from the first image. Below the art, a playback bar shows the episode is at the 2-second mark with a total length of 28:42. Play, pause, and skip buttons are visible. The entire player is framed by an orange-to-dark-brown gradient background with the text "...new episode?" written in white at the bottom right.

This promotional graphic for "Not Another Science Podcast" features a vibrant orange background with white star accents. The text introduces hosts Amelie and Tori and their guest, Dr. Glauco Souza, a leader in 3D cell culture and Director at Greiner Bio-One. It describes the episode's focus on 3D cell culture techniques, from patents to scaling a $100 million business. A large circular inset shows an illustration of multiple blue Petri dishes filled with cells, with one prominent yellow dish in the center. A bold quote at the bottom reads, "3D cell culture is the new paradigm, and that is where we have the new methodologies applications.”

This slide, on an orange background, features two main Q&A sections. The first explains that a nanoshell is a nanoparticle assembly of iron oxide, gold, and polylysine that allows cells to levitate and interact in a magnetic field to form 3D structures. The second section defines 3D cell culture as a new paradigm because it creates an in vivo-like structure using human cells, reducing the need for animal testing. A photo in the bottom right corner shows a gloved hand using a multichannel pipette to add pink media to a laboratory well plate, illustrating the process of feeding the starving cells.

Set against the same orange theme, this image discusses the clinical advantages of 3D magnetic cell cultures, specifically in oncology. It explains how breaking apart and reassembling a tumor in a lab can help determine which drugs or combinations will effectively kill it through phenomics. The bottom half of the page offers career advice for students, emphasizing the importance of not burning bridges and finding a niche. It concludes with the bold quote: "So you have to get some of that failure behind you to grow and be prepared to be opportunistic." The visual includes a 3D rendering of a magnetic drive used to manipulate cell cultures in plates.

What if the cells protecting your brain could also destroy it? 🧠 In our latest blog, featured writer Summer Christian breaks down the fascinating double-edged nature of microglia. 🔗 Read the full story eusci.org.uk/2026/03/09/t...

Text reads, "Microglia are now recognised as key drivers of AD progression, promoting neuroinflammation, removing essential synapses, and limiting amyloid clearance. Targeting microglia in AD, therefore, presents a significant challenge: therapies must reduce harmful inflammation while also restoring their protective function."

Could waste bread be the solution to reducing fossil fuel reliance in the chemical industry? 🍞🔬 Read about the latest research fron the Wallace Lab in @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social 👉 www.ed.ac.uk/news/breadcr...

A background image of artisan bread with the text "From breadcrumbs to breakthroughs" displayed above it. Below, it reads: "Researchers from the Wallace Lab at the University of Edinburgh have demonstrated a carbon-negative method to power one of the chemical industry’s most widely used reactions."

A background image of artisan bread with the text Hydrogenation underpins huge parts of modern manufacturing, but it still relies almost entirely on hydrogen made from fossil fuels. What we’ve shown is that living cells can supply that hydrogen directly, using waste as a feedstock, and do so in a way that can actually be carbon-negative.

Professor Stephen Wallace
Personal Chair of Chemical Biotechnology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh.

A background image of artisan bread with the text,

“This approach isn’t limited to food chemistry either. Hydrogenation is used across pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals and materials. Being able to run these reactions using microbial hydrogen opens up new possibilities for sustainable manufacturing at scale.

Have you watched our newest episode of Not Another Science Podcast yet? 🩺💼 Our hosts Amelie and Tori sat down with Dr. Rosie Benneyworth, CEO of the Health Services Safety and Investigations Body. Listen to the full podcast on Spotify or Apple Podcast! 🎧 #SciComm #EUSci

A promotional graphic for the Edinburgh University Science Media podcast on a bright blue gradient background. At the top, text introduces hosts Amelie and Tori and their guest, Dr. Rosie Benneyworth, CEO of the Health Services Safety and Investigations Body (HSSIB). The text mentions topics like her transition from being a GP, AI in healthcare, and leadership skills. A prominent quote in bold white text reads: "As a leader, you need to be really clear about what is not acceptable and then take action as appropriate... be brave, be bold, learn from things that do not go well, and good luck." A circular inset image shows a stylized illustration of a female doctor with medical icons like a heart monitor and medicine bottles.

An informational slide with a blue gradient background featuring two Q&A sections. The first question asks about Dr. Benneyworth's current role; she explains her work as Chief Executive of HSSIB, investigating patient safety concerns in England. The second question asks what excites her; she describes moving the healthcare system away from blaming individuals and toward improving systems and environments. A large pull-quote at the bottom reads: "How do we change the system that makes people, make sure people receive good care?" A circular inset in the bottom right shows a close-up of high-tech medical monitoring equipment in a hospital setting.

A slide titled "What is your advice for aspiring leaders?" on a blue background. The text includes three paragraphs of advice from Dr. Rosie Benneyworth, emphasizing passion, leading by example, and the importance of listening and collaborating with others. A large, bold pull-quote at the bottom states: "Be clear about what you want to achieve. Be clear about why you want to achieve it." In the bottom right corner, a circular inset shows a top-down view of a white desk with a stethoscope, a notebook, and a pen, representing the medical profession.

What if AI hallucinations aren’t bugs— but dreams? ⚡️ LLMs may hallucinate for the same reason humans dream: to escape overfitting and spark creativity. Curious? Read our latest blog post 👉 eusci.org.uk/2026/01/12/t... #AI #EuSci #BlogPost #ScienceCommunication

Image titled The Hallucinating Machine: Why AI Needs to Dream by Elisa Castagnari. Blue-green science-fiction style background. A floating brain is centred, with light beams around it.

Image with a blue-green science-fiction style background and a floating brain at the centre, surrounded by beams of light. Overlaid text is a quote, "Dreams act as a kind of biological regularisation by introducing noise and randomness, generating unusual, surreal scenarios unlike anything we normally encounter. This nightly injection of surprise keeps the brain’s generative models–its systems for imagining, predicting, and interpreting the world–flexible and able to handle novelty. In short, dreams prevent the brain from becoming too narrow or specialised, helping us remain adaptable in a constantly changing environment."

A black-and-white photo of Semmelweis appears beneath. Text reads: “In 1847, Ignaz Semmelweis showed that simple handwashing could prevent childbed fever. His peers denied it, but he remained faithful to science, aiming to reform obstetric care and save mothers’ lives.”

Background image of dried crops. Bold red text reads: Traitor – Trofim Lysenko 1898–1976. Below is a black-and-white photo of Lysenko. Text explains: “Soviet scientist Trofim Lysenko caused widespread harm through unscientific plant theories, aligning biology with ideology, silencing truth, and setting science back decades. A traitor to science and humanity.”

Background photo of crops with a brown transparent overlay. Bold text reads: Murdered – Nikolai Vavilov 1887–1942. Below is a photo of Vavilov. Text reads: “Russian geneticist Nikolai Vavilov worked to end famine by conserving crop diversity. Faithful to science, he was branded a traitor under Stalin, imprisoned, and died of starvation, despite laying the foundation for modern genebanks and global food security.”
