Diary
Our Research Gala day this year was better than ever and a great showcase for the
College. Kicking off with a great set of poster presentations from the postgraduate
researcher community in the Wolfson Common Room, the judges had their work cut out
shortlisting. This was followed by a similarly-excellent and varied set of oral
presentations by five postgraduate researchers. The afternoon saw a series of ‘5-Star’
presentations by five of the College’s postdoctoral researchers who gave some insight
into their research and career path to date, and wrapped up with the prize-giving
ceremony - many congratulations to the winners listed at the end of our newsletter!

issues, from both internal and external speakers. There were interactive presentations
from Bryan Turner (The Excitement of a Career in Science); Kate Bishop (Career
Pathways to R&KT and REF); Stephanie Maloney (KTP Fellowships); and Vince O’Grady,
