🧠 What if we could map the brain like Google Maps and trace not just individual landmarks, but the connections between them?
Our latest blogpost features DPhil student Sapolnach, whose research explores the rapidly developing field of connectomics: mapping the networks that shape our thoughts and behaviour.
We spoke to him about the big questions driving his research, as well as his work to open up neuroscience to young people around the world and give students the chance to work with real brain data.

𓁈 How did people in Ancient Egypt choose to present themselves and how did they hope to be remembered?
In our latest research blog, Honorary Fellow Prof Elizabeth Frood explores identity and legacy through the extraordinary statue of Wenennefer, a high dignitary under Ramesses II. She also reflects on her recent Visiting Fellowship in Paris, a significant milestone both professionally and personally, and on the power of objects to bring ancient stories to life.

🌍 What is lost when we translate words, but not humour, rhythm, culture or context? This #EuropeanDayOfLanguages, we’re celebrating the distinctly human creativity involved in moving between languages and cultures.
That idea is at the heart of Oxford’s new Master’s in Creative Translation, led by Queen’s Professor Karen Leeder. Combining academic study with hands-on creative practice, the course will explore translation across literature, theatre, film and experimental media, while asking an increasingly important question in the age of AI: what can human translators do that machines cannot?
As Professor Leeder puts it: “The ability to imagine, interpret, and connect across languages and cultures remains a distinctly human endeavour.”
Students will also benefit from the course’s close connection with the Queen's Translation Exchange (QTE), joining a community of translators through events, reading groups, seminars, and opportunities to get involved as QTE Ambassadors.
