LINDEMANN REUNION

In October, we staged our 2011 Lindemann Reunion.

Among the returning alumni of the Lindemann Trust Fellowship were Professor Robin Marshall and Professor Brian Cox. All of the guests were able to catch up with old friends and make new ones at a drinks and buffet reception. The Lindemann Trust Fellowship is a grant giving body for post-doctoral scientists wishing to do research in America. As such, a broad range of scientific fields was represented at the event, from atomic physics to biomolecular science, astrophysics and beyond. The cross-pollination of ideas between alumni was wonderful to see.

lecture by Professor Robin Marshall. Professor Marshall is currently touring with a special lecture to mark the centenary of the discovery of the nucleus. The lecture highlighted the practicality and indeed, morality of nuclear power. It created the springboard for a fascinating discussion. A thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening evening was had by guests and the combination of a reunion with a popular lecture drew wonderful feedback and suggestions for future events.

Retiring to the comfort of The Wedgewood Room for coffee, guests and members of the public were treated to a DIALOGUE 33
