This past week students had the opportunity to attend FOUR different Cambridge University lectures:
"What Did Viruses Ever Do for Us? The Evolution of `Good` Viruses" with John Carr, and "Justice at a Crossroads: In Conversation with Sir Max Hill KC" were both on Monday evening. From the hidden role of viruses in our world to thought-provoking discussions on law and justice, our students continued to engage with subjects that broadened their understanding beyond the classroom.
Then on Tuesday, another cohort attended a talk on "The Question of Reparations: reparative justice for the historic enslavement of Africans and its on-going legacy”with Bell Ribeiro-Addy, member of parliament for Clapham and Brixton Hill. The conversation explored the growing global demand for reparations amidst a contentious political discourse at home.
Finally, on Wednesday, students went to a mini conference on "Stopping Disease Before it Starts” with Dr Lorenzo Ficorella, Dr Kamen Tsvetanov, Dr Ana-Maria Cujba & Dr Rouchelle Sriranjan-Rothwell, who each presented 15-minute overviews of their research. Then, different research teams exhibited posters about their research and the audience voted for the most interesting/ engaging ones.
