In WWII, RAL saw Spitfires roar overhead its predecessor RAF Harwell. Now, it’s a hub for science innovation. Keep an eye out for more content that puts our science in its historical context and more! 🔎#STFCInContext

Science is linked to the Humanities in more ways than we may think.
Join us as we explore the Humanities behind Science through our #STFCinContext campaign!
Keep track of upcoming #STFCinContext projects from STFC's different departments here:

ALT This graphic features 2 magnifying glasses and grey footprints intertwining with the text. There are also 5 mascots that are the theta symbol, a paint pallet, a fossil, a book and the globe, all with eyes.
Yesterday, we partnered with @diamondlightsource to inspire future engineers!
The students explored the power of solar energy, the structure of model cars, coding, a science careers fair, and toured the inside of the Diamond Light Synchrotron.

Summer has been great for orchids at RAL! Here you can see the Bee Orchid, the Common Spotted Orchid, and the Pyramidal Orchid.
Fun Fact: The Bee Orchid mimics a female bee, tricking males into pollinating it!
STFC manages our grasslands to foster these beautiful species.
There's a great buzz at RAL on the average day, but nothing beats the feeling of over 10,000 people coming to see what we do🤩
Thanks to everyone who helped make it such a great day! #HarwellOpen24
