🥬🍽️ How do we grow enough food for the future in a changing climate?
Researchers at Queen’s are part of a £6.7 million ARIA-funded project exploring how synthetic biology could improve the yield and resilience of staple crops.
The collaboration began over lunch at Queen’s, when a conversation across disciplines opened up an unexpected connection between medicine, biology, and industry. In our latest feature, Professor Chris O’Callaghan reflects on the interdisciplinary collaboration behind the project which brings together expertise to tackle one of the biggest global challenges of our time.

🎓 What is a university for?
For first-year Fine Art students Rosa and Maia, Queen’s has been more than a place to study. It has been a space to explore art’s psychological and political power and to ask how memory and identity might help us think differently about the future.
🖌️ 👩🎨Their exhibition, 'Emerging Unrealities', explores the shifting boundaries between the real and the imagined.
In this feature, Rosa and Maia reflect on art, friendship, and the role of universities as places where emotional and intellectual frameworks for understanding the world begin to take shape.
