Change doesn’t always start with a breakthrough.

Sometimes it starts with a question, a different perspective, the opportunity to see things differently.

A moment can change everything. by @uni_southampton

Do wildflowers have healing powers? 🌼

In Ep 9 of Ask the Expert, Professor Ronan McCarthy explains how plants, like wildflowers, could help combat this growing problem.

Antibiotic discovery has slowed massively, so much so we now only have a handful of new antibiotics clinically approved across the last two decades.

Could you help find a black hole hiding in our galaxy? 🌌

Our space scientists are calling on amateur astronomers to search for possibly thousands which remain undiscovered across the Milky Way.

It's part of our Black Hole Hunters project, which needs citizen scientists, like you, to find the elusive black holes.

No telescope needed – just a phone, tablet or laptop and a bit of curiosity.

Head to our link in bio and join the cosmic hunt! 🔗 by @uni_southampton

🗣️ “One of the things I really want to do quite quickly is to get out and about to hear directly from our students.”

Today we welcome Professor Charlie Jeffery CBE into his role as our President and Vice-Chancellor.

Following seven years at the University of York, where he also served in the same position, Charlie now embarks on a new chapter with us here in Southampton.

Although today marks his first day in post, he has already been spending time embedded in our community, meeting colleagues and students.

It is with great sadness we have learned of the passing of Dame Esther Rantzen.

We were proud to award Dame Esther, who lived in the New Forest, with an honorary degree in 2025 in recognition of her tireless work to improve life for others, which included setting up Childline in 1986 and founding The Silver Line Helpline in 2012 to combat loneliness and isolation among older people.

Her work has changed, and will continue to change, countless lives for the better, and we send the deepest sympathies of our community to her loved ones at this time. A memorial portrait of Dame Esther Rantzen, featuring a bright smile. She has styled, blonde, shoulder-length hair and is wearing a black pinstripe blazer, a white ruffled blouse, and a draped silk scarf with a vibrant pattern of orange, black, yellow, and white stripes. She is seated on a light tufted armchair, leaning forward slightly with her right hand resting on a patterned throw pillow. The background is softly blurred, showing a warm, indoor setting with a vase of white flowers. Overlaying the bottom portion of the image is white text that reads "Dame Esther Rantzen 1940-2026". by @uni_southampton
