🎭 What happens when research leaves laptops, notebooks and desks? For Keyuan Zhang and Tiantian Xie, PhD students in Queen Mary’s School of Arts, it became an original musical. 🔗

Performed in Mandarin with English subtitles, ‘Herstory in History’ showed how research and creative practice can create cultural impact beyond the classroom and bring Chinese storytelling to new audiences. Congratulations to Tiantian, Keyuan, Fiona Zhu and the team!

RT @Channel4News: London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), which charges drivers of the most polluting vehicles, has been linked to improved lung health in children in a major new study. Researchers at Queen Mary University found primary school children in London had significantly smaller lungs than children in Luton in 2018. But five years later, after the introduction of the low emission zone, the difference in lung health between the two groups had largely disappeared.

Air pollution stunts children’s lung growth. New Queen Mary research found that improvements in air quality after the introduction of London’s ULEZ are associated with accelerated lung growth in children. Read more:

Learn more about the five years of work that went into the ambitious CHILL research project, as Queen Mary research fellow Dr Helen Wood explains how the study was put together, and exactly why children’s lung health is so vital:
