Need a break from studying? @magdalenoxford.bsky.social is only a 10 minute walk from the SSL & free to access with your University Card. Library staff enjoyed seeing fritillaries, bluebells & wisteria on our monthly Nature Walk today. Photos by Sarah Rhodes.

What if I told you that you're reading other peoples' minds all the time. And you're doing it in conversation daily without even realising! Think about the word "Ready."

Not to alarm anyone, but DUCKLINGS!

What if I told you that the University’s Department of Physics has just discovered a permanent "Quantum Shortcut" in a lab in Oxford? It sounds like a plot from a sci-fi thriller, doesn't it? Let me tell you all about it!

What if I told you one of the most contested words in the English language is only 3 letters long, is our most used word, and yet for centuries the world's greatest linguists and philosophers keep fighting about what it actually means? Guessed it yet? I used it three times in that sentence alone.

🐾🎉 Happy 6th Purr-thday to the one and only Walter de Staplecat 🎓🐱 May your day be full of dreamies, strategic loafing, and uninterrupted solitude. If you haven’t been yet, head to the Bodleian Libraries exhibition Pets & their People and see if you can spot the birthday boy. #WaltertheExeterCat

What if I told you AI isn't coming for *your* job.... It's coming for your Manager's? An algorithm running your 1:1s, approving your holiday, and asking how your weekend was. Sounds like the future, doesn't it? Except it's already happening.

Today marks the spring equinox and also Nowruz, Persian and Bahá’i New Year. We wish everyone celebrating a safe, peaceful and happy new year.

Eid Mubarak 🌙 Wishing all who celebrate a joyous Eid.

what if I told you that if you went blind, a doctor could pull out your tooth, drill a hole in it, and stick it in your eye to help you see again? Yes your actual tooth. In your actual eye. Don't believe me?

The Daffodils are stunning at the moment!
