Squad goals 💪🏾⬇️

#UniversityChallenge fans, unite! 🎉 Our team is back on your screens next Monday 21 March as they take on @EmmaCambridge in the semi-finals. They'll be on at 8.30pm on @BBCTwo!

But first... here's a reminder of the team 👇🏾

@sheriffscience

First up, it's Fatima! @sheriffscience's strengths include #feminism, human anatomy, and neuroscience.

💡 Fun fact: Fatima embroidered the Imperial logo that you see on the team's mascot, Buffy the bat.

Cute, we know 🦇

@impchemistry

Oh hey, Gilbert 👋🏾

Gilbert is studying @impchemistry and is also a freelance organist in his spare time 🎶

His advice for future quizzers is to check out museums and galleries as it's the most fun and interactive way to learn new things.

Nice.

All the way from Scotland, we are proud to have Michael as our team captain 👏🏾

Michael's strengths include literature, history, and philosophy and he is the current chair of our Imperial College Book Club.

Hurray for Michael 🎉

And finally, here's our very own "human atlas", Max 🎉 Max is from Singapore and is studying Biochemistry.

"You don't learn anything via memorisation," he says.

Noted, Max ✅

We are exceptionally proud of #OurImperial team and can't wait to cheer them on next week!

Good luck Fatima, Gilbert, Michael, and Max 💙

The Telegraph has corrected and apologised for another untrue claim about Imperial #COVID19 epidemiology. It's the 16th time they have had to correct or clarify false or misleading reporting on Imperial coronavirus research.

The newspaper falsely claimed that following a ‘brief spike in cases during summer 2021’ Prof Neil Ferguson predicted that ‘Britain would soon hit one million infections a day'. He and his Imperial team made no such prediction.

The Telegraph had come up with this claim by picking one of 72 analyses from a study - in this case clearly labelled as 'pessimistic' hypothetical and specific scenarios - and misleadingly presented it as a prediction of what 'would' happen. It was nothing of the sort.

THREAD: Following our #BlackLivesMatter tweet on Monday, many members of our community have been in touch to ask - rightfully - what we are doing to help fight racism and inequality at Imperial and better-support our Black students and staff

Let's be honest, we have a lot of work to do. But we have to start somewhere. Here’s what we're doing right now 👇🏿

Encouraging more Black students to apply to Imperial is a priority for us. We're currently developing a new cohort programme for Black students in secondary school years 10-13. This will launch in the next academic year

Our academics and researchers from across the College are providing their analysis of the #Budget2020. A thread 👇

@AnaNMijic

Dr @AnaNMijic (@ImpEngineering) welcomes funding for flood defences, but highlights the challenge that large investments in road and housing infrastructure projects will increase pressures on the natural environment. Read her full comment: ow.ly/uPDL50yIStt #Budget2020

@HarjoatBhamra

Dr @HarjoatBhamra (@ImperialBiz) said a budget focusing on ‘red wall issues’ will have to wait, as #COVID19 takes a higher priority. Read his full comment: ow.ly/uPDL50yIStt #Budget2020
