"Every single student [should] have a chance to put their learning into context – it doesn’t matter if you’re a history student or a chemical engineer.” 💡
The University of Manchester Important for the sunny weather! ☀️ Chronic exposure to sunlight strongly disrupts the skin's body‑clock rhythm, according to a UoM study. The findings could explain how UV light triggers inflammation and damage in exposed skin altering how its cells behave. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
