The Great Research Rescue
How far would you go to save something important?
When Dr Lucy Hawkes discovered that part of her research was missing, what followed was an unexpected rescue mission – one that led to some surprising results.
To celebrate Biology Week and highlight the SEB’s Living Biology podcast, we have brought Lucy’s story to life in a new animated video.
In this engaging short film, Lucy shares the story behind her research and the lengths she went to recover something that might otherwise have been lost. It is a fascinating reminder that scientific research is not always a straightforward journey, and that unexpected challenges can sometimes lead to surprising discoveries.
