We are excited to invite you to the SRUK/CERU × OUSS Spring Talks, a joint event organised by the Oxford Constituency of the Society of Spanish Researchers in the UK (SRUK/CERU) and the Oxford University Spanish Society (OUSS).

RNA binding proteins in motor neuron disease
Presenting work on RNA-binding proteins involved in motor neuron disease using molecular cloning and microscopy in mammalian cell models.
- Marian Licheri Hougaard (MSc student in Education, University of Oxford)
Identifying the At-Risk Learner: Investigating the Conceptualization and Assessment of Language Vulnerabilities
