The LMB’s first, purpose built laboratory was officially handed over on 29 January 1962, and all 43 scientists had moved in by the middle of February. Day 31 of #LMB365 shows the building in 1962, on the ‘new’ Addenbrooke’s site, off Hills Road, Cambridge. The facilities on site were very limited at the time, but there was a ‘shop’ from which you could buy your daily newspaper

LMB 365 – Day 162
Happy Hour is one of the LMB’s regular social events where people can meet, chat, have a couple of drinks, discuss their work or organise their weekend’s activities. Happy Hour has been going for around 10 years and this photo for day 162 of #LMB365 shows all the drinks lined up awaiting the first attendees for a recent gathering.
LMB 365 – Day 161
The meadow flower planting on the mounds around the edge of the LMB building was intended to mitigate the loss of grassland habitat of the original site and to try and increase biodiversity. The original wildflower planting mix contained 20+ different species of wildflowers and ornamental grasses. Over time, nature has intervened and we now have a different blend of plant species including Salvia verbenaca (wild sage) seen here on day 161 of #LMB365. The rich variety of plants, with the bulk of them requiring insect pollination, has started to develop into a mature ecosystem beneficial to the LMB bees. There is at least one bee in the photo – can you find it?
