@leverhulme.ac.ukThe dynamo process which produces the magnetic fields that shield planets, remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern physics; Alban Pothérat’s project explores whether the magnetic field itself drives the polar vortex where it’s generated.
@leverhulme.ac.ukBy observing exoplanets with the largest telescopes on the ground and in space, Leverhulme Early Career Fellow, @bensutlieff.bsky.social @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social, seeks to understand the weather on these distant worlds and what this can tell us about their atmospheric diversity.
@leverhulme.ac.ukCan compassion still transform the world? What does it mean to bear witness today?
How we think about humanity, war and suffering is shifting. Join the discussion on Monday!
