Recently @nickipierce.bsky.social was invited to not only share her research at @pintofscience.uk but also had the opportunity of two local artists creating pieces inspired by it! The art now sits with pride in the FYFF office and Nicki has blogged about the experience and the artworks created.

It was great to be a part of this event and to see all of the other research groups/centres from our College here at the University of Lincoln. If you missed it yesterday, the display stays in place in the Minerva building until the end of the week so it's not too late to pop over and take a look!
