🧠 What if we could change the chemistry of one precise area of the brain without invasive surgery?
Extraordinary Junior Research Fellow in Psychology Dr Nima Khalighinejad is developing a pioneering approach which uses focused ultrasound to allow drugs to reach specific regions of the brain.
The research could give neuroscientists a more precise way to investigate how chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine shape everything from mood and motivation to learning and decision-making. We spoke to Nima about his work.

🎉 Congratulations to former Junior Research Fellow Dr Selena Wisnom, whose book 'The Library of Ancient Wisdom: Mesopotamia and the Making of History' has been shortlisted for the 2026 Wolfson History Prize.
Her book explores the remarkable survival of 33,000 clay tablets from ancient Mesopotamia, that reveal a sophisticated world of literature, religion, medicine, magic and more. Now a Lecturer at the University of Leicester, Dr Wisnom said she was thrilled by the recognition and hopes it will encourage more people to study Assyriology.

🎓 Meet our MCR President, Jennice!
Jennice is a DPhil researcher in Archaeological Science, studying ancient trees to understand and date the past, and she’s also a familiar face in the MCR (the Queen’s graduate community) after two years on the MCR committee.
At the heart of her plans as President is a simple idea: making sure the graduate community is a place where everyone feels they belong, whether they’re regulars at every event or just dropping in for coffee and a chat. We caught up with Jennice about the work that goes on behind the scenes to achieve this, and how she balances her role with her research.
