A vision to regenerate land around Exeter’s St David’s Station has won a significant boost today with the government injecting thousands of pounds into the initiative.

Doing all of this as well as having the kind of social life that is an equally important part of being a student can sometimes seem overwhelming, and not in a good way.
Global efforts to tackle antibiotic resistance will be more effective if they focus on the cultural context for the fourfold difference in total antibiotic use and consumption across Europe, according to a new report.
