🕰️ How many times have you walked past the clock at Queen’s without giving it a second thought?
But what's the story behind it?
Introducing ‘Hidden Spaces’, our new video series exploring some of the College’s lesser-known corners and the fascinating people connected to them.
In this first episode, we're heading up into the Bell Tower with former College Horologist John Richards, who takes us behind the scenes to reveal a world few get to see.
History, mystery, and a rather spectacular view of Queen’s.

🐭 ☠️ What do flying mice, gut microbes, and the evolution of death have in common?
For Browne Junior Research Fellow at Queen’s, Dr Aura Raulo, the answer lies in the hidden networks that connect all living things.
From studying wood mice in Wytham Woods, to exploring how our social connections shape our gut microbiomes, Aura’s research asks a fascinating question: does life thrive through isolation or connection?
We caught up with Aura to discover how their research is inspiring everything from animation to choral music, why they see death as a process that creates life, and what they love about being part of the academic community at Queen's.

🎉 We’re delighted to announce the appointment of Andrew Mitchell CMG (Modern Languages, 1986), HM Ambassador to Germany, to an Honorary Fellowship at Queen’s.
From memories of student life to the power of learning languages and the importance of curiosity in diplomacy, Andrew reflects on his career so far and the lasting influence of Queen’s.
And the message that has stayed with him throughout? “It’s always about the people.”

🏅 What is it about neutrinos that keeps attracting Nobel Prizes?
The 2026 Nobel Prize for Physics has been awarded to Francis Halzen for his pioneering work on the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and the discovery of high-energy neutrinos from space.
This marks the fifth Nobel Prize recognising research into these elusive particles.
Queen’s Fellow and neutrino physicist Dr Kirsty Duffy joins the 'Physics World Weekly' podcast to explore what makes neutrinos so fascinating.
