We can't forget about the Meeting of Minds Quiz Night, which brought together researchers, students, and members of the local community. The evening combined curiosity, friendly competition, and laughter, proving that learning can continue well beyond the lecture theatre.

Mitochondria are back in the spotlight — but that’s only part of the story. Aging may be less about energy production, and more about how energy is buffered and redistributed in cells. Human physiology will be key to crack this. @MitoNed @SENC_ nytimes.com/2026/02/19/well/…

The Key to Longevity May Be Found Inside Our Cells

Why health influencers are obsessed with mitochondria.
