The project would significantly contribute to retrospective and prospective clinicopathology of cancer diagnosis and establishment of a novel field in medical science based on 3D histopathology.

Impact of COVID-19: How has the pandemic affected how we do science? Falling Walls Circle Tables are lending the spotlight to world-leading scientists, science strategists and policy-makers from academia, business and politics discuss how we can apply science, research and innovation to get the world moving again. The COVID-19 pandemic…

The project brings science film experiences to scientists, artists, children and the general public across the world. We have developed a process over the last four years that takes science from the lab and brings it to life with the power of film. Filmmaking events teach scientists, artists and children…

One for all, All for One is an art-based vaccine engagement project based in Blantyre, Malawi at Malawi Liverpool Wellcome Programme. The collaborative effort involves local community groups, health experts, frontline workers, policymakers, and engagement practitioners from Africa and the UK. Using participatory processes, the team has produced a captivating…

The nominating institute Leibniz Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries on the breakthrough: The importance of freshwater biodiversity contrasts with its low profile in policy and society. Jähnig studies freshwater megafauna, as these large, charismatic animals can function as umbrella species in nature conservation, and act as flagship species…

Teamwork coordinated by Justyna Olko breaks down walls between academia and local communities, combining multidisciplinary, decolonising research with participatory activities that promote language revitalization and ethnic minority empowerment. These endeavours have shown that the use of local heritage languages improves health and well-being and protects against historical trauma, fostering ‘communities…

Giancarmelo Stamilla is addressing the sustainability issues associated with sorbitol synthesis, a widely used sweetener, by proposing a novel one-pot process using carbonated water, hydrogen, and reusable catalysts like active carbons, eliminating the need for corrosive acids. This eco-friendly and low-cost method not only facilitates the conversion of cellulose to…

Sofía Ulloa Arias is addressing the environmental impact of short-lived plastics in the pet industry, where discarded toys contribute to significant waste. Her solution involves the use of mycelium from mushrooms and vegetable substrates to create compostable pet toys, promoting a greener future and revolutionising the sector with the world’s…

Quantum teleportation allows a “disembodied” transmission of unknown quantum states between distant quantum systems. Yet, all teleportation experiments to date were limited to a two-dimensional subspace of quantized multiple levels of the quantum systems. Here, Manuel Erhard and colleagues propose a scheme for teleportation of arbitrarily high-dimensional photonic quantum states…

Yasmina Abakkouy argues that polygenic risk scores can possibly be used to predict the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) on a population level. This could lead to more precise risk stratification by classifying people in either high or low AD risk.
