Long read sequencing continues to offer remarkable ability to capture complex genomic architecture, providing researchers and clinicians with comprehensive insights into genetic variations, structural rearrangements, and regulatory elements. In the realm of research, long read sequencing holds immense promise for elucidating biological mechanisms, deciphering gene regulation, and discovering the genetic basis of diseases. Moreover, in clinical settings, this technology holds the potential to transform diagnostics, prognostics, and personalized medicine by enabling precise characterization of individual genomes and identification of disease-causing mutations with high accuracy. Throughout this seminar, we will explore leveraging long read sequencing for both research and clinical endeavors, highlighting its impact on understanding human health and disease. We look forward to your participation and the opportunity to engage in discussions on the potential of long read sequencing.

For those looking into or are amid a PhD, it can at times feel like a journey without clear signposts. The first NEST webinar of 2024 aims to help you put together or strengthen your flight plan to navigate through your PhD journey. This webinar will seek to provide prospective and current PhD students with some nuggets of wisdom to guide them through their PhD. Key topics include juggling your PhD with other commitments/responsibilities, dealing with and overcoming the inevitable yet unanticipated setbacks you encounter, and some tips on how to go about your transition from PhD life to academia or industry. The aim is not to regurgitate information commonly taught by supervisors or in courses, but to provide some Easter (or NEST!) eggs from those who are still in or have recently left the PhD roost! Following presentations from our 3 exceptional speakers, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q+A with the speakers.

The school inspection service Ofsted has come under increased scrutiny in the last year, in the wake of the tragic death of primary headteacher Ruth Perry, which the coroner linked to her experiences of Ofsted. In the wake of media reports of the tragedy, the 2023 Beyond Ofsted Inquiry (funded by NEU) conducted a major research project on key stakeholders’ views of Ofsted and the potential for reform. This involved a large-scale survey of teachers and focus groups with teachers, headteachers, governors and parents. Here we present data from the primary-based participants in this research, and explore the particularities of the inspection experience for primary teachers and leaders. In particular, we discuss their views of the 2019 framework’s focus on curriculum and the use of ‘deep dives’, and the problem of being inspected by non-primary specialists. We conclude with an outline of the recommended model for a new inspection system and a discussion of how this would benefit primary schools.
