Darwin Dinner

10 March 2014

Hertford’s Life Sciences tutors are holding a dinner in college for all Hertford Biochemists, Biologists and Human Scientists, past and present.

The evening will start with a social/networking event from 6 pm, with dinner served in Hall at 7.30 pm. After the dinner, Alison Woollard will give a short talk on a Darwin-related theme, reflecting on her recent experience of giving the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures.

We feel that it is exciting times for our subjects, and that we would like to share some of our passion and excitement with you, whether you have stayed in Life Sciences or not, but perhaps even more importantly than this we would value your input in establishing a subject based academic and professional network for Hertford Life Sciences. Our undergraduates (and also of course our graduate students) are facing a challenging employment market and often tell us that access to graduates that have had a similar training at university to themselves but may have gone off in a whole variety of professional (and life!) directions would be extremely valuable, as well as great fun!  Hopefully, this will be a great opportunity for some of you to reconnect with the college in this extraordinarily useful, important and innovative way.
