Harry Sanders tells us how freshwater animals, including invasives, modify sediment transport in rivers and the consequences of tehse changes. Find out more watching this Summer time science video, brought to you by the geography team at the Section of Natural and Applied Sciences, Canterbury Christ Church University.

In this Summer time science video, brought to you by the Section of Natural and Applied Sciences at CCCU, Dr Gregg McIntosh shows us his lab and how he uses his magnetic susceptibility equipment to analyse archaeological and geological samples for research.

How to make ice cream with a few ingredients found at home, and a lot of shacking! Dr Emilia Bertolo-Pardo (CCCU) and her assistant once more give us a fun chemistry lecture, this time making ice-cream that we can eat. Enjoying Summer time science? It is even better with a bit of ice-cream. You only need a few easy-to-find ingredients to make delicious ice cream.

In this video, John Hills, geographer and ArcMap-GIS guru at Canterbury Christ Church University, tells us how to use digital mapping and GIS for scientific studies. Watch the video for some ideas and step by step process to get the most out of your GIS. This is only a "taster video" of what can done! Music credit: Bendsound.

In this short research talk, Naki Adjirackor tells us about the project on Cell-based assays for development of IVF products. Assays for IVF products have to be cost-effective to run, easy to use, and highly optimised. Mouse embryos are typically used, but what if this could be changed for cell-based assays? This could replace or reduce the use of animals and their embryos for research and trea...

Asma Ahmed tells us about thermodynamics in an accessible way and how it can apply to different fields of study. Starting with a coffee cup example, Asma explains open, closed and isolated thermodynamic systems in terms of matter and energy exchange with the surroundings. A bite-size physics lesson! Brought to you by Summer Time Science and the lecturers from the Section of Natural and Applied ...

Jack D Hollister (MSc student at CCCU) uses Object Detection and Deep Learning techinques for the identification and classification of chironomid larvae from the River Stour. Chironomid larvae (non-biting midges) are found in freshwater systems, but there are about 600 species in the UK, they are very small and difficult to identify, and the presence or absence of certain groups could be useful...

Are you looking for a nice book to read this summer? Why not try any of the books recommended by Dr Jana Stastna, Lecturer in Human Biology (CCCU). These books are entertaining, informative and useful for general knowledge, not just for scientists but for anyone interested in the natural world and society, from cells to fossils.

In this research talk, Rodrigo Vega explains his current research on peregrine falcons, and the relatively recent population in Sussex. Where do they come from? This a conservation genetics topic, bringing together molecular biology and ecology to solve questions relevant for conservation.

Find out more about how embryos can be visualised and studied for the improvement of pig production. Our PhD student, Lucy Vining explains this in a short mini-talk for Summer time science 2021.

Watch this mini-talk by one of our postgrads to learn more about ecotoxicology! This is one of several research mini-talks at CCCU for Summer time science 2021.

What happens if you mix bicarbonate of soda and vinegar? Fun! Emilia and her assistant bring us this chemistry experiment for Summer time science 2021.

Coming soon… From the Science team at CCCU, we are launching a series of new virtual learning content via RUclips and Facebook every Thursday until September 2021!

Merry Christmas from Emilia, Daniel, and all of the Summer Time Science team, let's hope you have plenty of fizz this season.
