Floating ice shelves advanced between 2002 and 2019, following two decades of retreat.
It’s unknown exactly how sea ice around Antarctica will continue to evolve in response to climate change, or the effects this will have on the eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet.
Despite the rapid melting of ice in #Antarctica during the 20th century, the eastern Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet has grown in area over the last 20 years, due to changing wind and sea ice patterns.
We're delighted to have been recognised as a Leader in Openness around #AnimalResearch.

🧠 Could there be a new way to treat#dementiaa?
In dementia, misfolded proteins can build up and damage the brain.
Scientists have found that some cells might be able to re-fold the proteins – possibly leading to new treatments.

When proteins misfold, they can build up in the brain, as seen in some forms of #dementia.
Now, scientists have found that stressed cells might be able to re-fold the proteins.
Could this open the door to new treatments?
