As our preparations for the start of the new academic session gather momentum, Dame Jessica shares highlights our latest successes and developments in research.

She writes: “It is also very good to report that we expect our final research-related areas to be opening over the next two weeks. I would like to thank colleagues in these later phases for your patience and generosity to those in other facilities that were prioritised for early return.”
