During the 2023-2024 academic year, we launched a social media initiative that allows LRI members to showcase their research through short, accessible interviews with our Director, Prof. Nafissa Ismail. As we expand this series, we plan to include more members and external guests to strengthen our social media presence, raise awareness of the LRI, and engage the public in a relatable and accessible manner. If you wish to participate, please send us an email. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see the videos.
