And newly graduated student Isabel Esain Garcia, PhD, who won the @CR_UK PhD Thesis Prize for her research into cancer gene regulation, opening up the possibility of a universally applicable treatment. darwin.cam.ac.uk/news/darwin…
We're proud of how all of them are, with the wider @Cambridge_Uni, #ChangingTheStoryofCancer.
Thank you to @Mayaqanun for a @DarwinLectures which combined her moving personal story with a fascinating education on Arabic music, an exploration of the meaning of home, and some beautiful music which lingered in our heads all night!
Wonderful to hear about the work of RheEnergise to increase the UK's energy storage capacity on @BBCr4today.
The company's co-founder and CTO Tamás Bertényi completed his PhD in Aeronautical Engineering at Darwin in 2001.

It's Lecture Series time again! This year, speakers from the worlds of linguistics, computer science, world music and everything in between will be giving their take on the theme of Codes.
Join us on Fridays in Lady Mitchell Hall. Lectures are open to all and free to attend.
It's a perfect winter's morning in Cambridge and Darwin is looking spectacularly beautiful and frost-spangled. Wrap up warm, and if you're in need of some internal central heating we recommend the café's hot chocolate...
Nothing like a bit of nail-biting competition to ease us into the new year! Don't forget to tune in tonight to watch Darwin take on Edinburgh in round two of University Challenge, at 8.30pm on BBC2.
The programme will be available here after broadcast: bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0026rj…
