What Clinicians Can Learn From Forensic Scientists

Clinical practice depends on the acquisition and analysis of evidence - detailed information from each patient’s clinical history, laboratory tests, imaging scans and biopsies. Yet data on its own is not enough, and must always be interpreted in the context of each unique person.

The Future of Our Oceans

Recent evidence about the extent of plastics and litter in our oceans has led to grassroots rejection of single-use plastics.

The Origins of the Elements

In this talk, Dr Wilkins will discuss the astrophysical origins of the chemical elements, almost all of which have an origin ranging from the big bang, to exploding white dwarfs, the collapse of massive stars, and the merger of ultra-compact objects, neutron stars.

Energy and Matter at the Origin of Life

The origin of life is one of the biggest questions in science, but until recently it was, experimentally, a question in chemistry. Now, gene sequences and a better understanding of cell growth under extreme conditions are giving insights from biology.

Mining Volcanoes: Diamonds, Copper and Hot Water

The volcanic processes that transport diamonds to the Earth’s surface and enrich copper beneath volcanoes, show how volcanoes can be a major energy and resource.

Volcanoes and Society

New approaches to volcanic hazard assessment and risk management are emerging as more information is required to respond to volcanic emergencies – illustrated by approaches to some recent eruptions, such as the Soufriere Hills Volcano, Montserrat.

Exploring the Hidden Face of our Dark Deep Ocean Planet

This lecture examines the deep-sea discoveries that have transformed our understanding of our planet, and the history of exploring the deep ocean that covers most of it.

Can Maths Tell Us Where We Are?

This talk will show how mathematics has played a vital role in making navigation as accurate as it is today and the impact that this has had on us all.

Plastics from Potatoes, Rubber from Rice

This talk shows that the incorporation of a simple salt can lead to a flexible plastic with mechanical properties similar to oil derived plastics. Most importantly these plastics are recyclable and ultimately compostable.

From Royal Highway to Common Sewer: The River Thames and its Architecture

The Thames is the reason that London is where it is and the river has had a decisive influence on the growth of the city since Roman Times.
