Community & Networking

Research at the Plant Chronobiology Hub extends beyond the University of York. We are proud members of the UK BioClock Network, a national community connecting circadian rhythm researchers across institutions.

Membership provides our students with exceptional networking opportunities, including:

Outreach

The Plant Chronobiology Hub is dedicated to democratising science and increasing visibility for underrepresented groups in research. We are active organisers of Soapbox Science, a public outreach platform that promotes women and non-binary role models in science.

We encourage all our researchers to participate in bringing cutting-edge science to the streets.
