Our Leading Lights lectures give our new professors the opportunity to share their career journey and current work with their colleagues, friends, and family, as well as members of the public with an interest in their area of research. These events are open to all. See our upcoming lectures here and watch the recordings of our previous lectures here.

Christmas crafts
Last year a number of colleagues got together over a couple of lunch hours to needle felt some Christmas decorations. It was a lovely opportunity to get to know others you may not otherwise meet and chat about their roles over a crafty break.
This year we are offering two different crafts and colleagues are welcome to sign up for these – both crafts are available on both days.
- Wednesday 4 November, 12.00pm-1.00pm
- Tuesday 17 November, 12.00pm-1.00pm
You can attend one or both sessions (attending both allows you to make more!)
Both crafts are designed to be ideas you may take home and carry on with family members… Even the younger ones.
All materials are provided (apart from the loo roll and photos!)
Craft 1: Bring an empty toilet roll and leave with a Santa for your tree (or several Santas you can thread together to form a garland.)
Craft 2:: Bring two photos (4inch by 4 inch or ones that can be cut to this size) and leave with two drinks coasters to gift that impossible-to-buy-for person in your life.
Sign up for sessions is required here to ensure that we have sufficient equipment and materials for all.
