When it comes to careers 📤📂💼, can we have it all? Well maybe not all, but a good deal nonetheless 🤔?

OUCB is proud to host Dr Joanna Bagniewska, a zoologist 🐒, science communicator and author of “The Modern Bestiary”. Joanna is passionate about science communication 🗣️, having won British Council’s FameLab Poland and the Wellcome-funded “I’m a Scientist, get me out of here!” 🫣, given a TEDx talk and performed at science stand up comedy events.

In this talk, you’ll find out how to make the most of multiple careers 👩‍💼🧑‍💼, how to dabble in popular science and come out unscathed, what it’s like at the forefront of vaccine communication 💉in COVID times, and why academic is like a tongue-eating louse.

Join us for a wild mix of career advice, zoological trivia and storytelling this Wednesday ‼️

🗣️ Come join us at the Phase 2 Seminar Room in the Department of Biochemistry this Thursday for a talk by Dr David Kim 🧪‼️

Founder of CyanoCapture, a spinout from the University of Oxford that explores the potential of ancient bacteria for carbon capture 🦠🌍.

This Thursday we're hosting a joint event with OXVC (Oxford Venture Capital Network) with guest speaker Prof Philipp Kukura of the Department of Chemistry.
Prof Kukura will be talking about his start up company Refeyn and will be a fantastic event for anyone keen to hear about what his company does and how to build a start up.

TRINITY TERM 2023 HAPP SEMINAR

"How Students Created Their Own Curriculum - Physics and Chemistry Clubs in 19th and 20th Century Oxford" - Professor Arne Schirrmacher, St Cross HAPP Visiting Fellow & Faculty of History

Tuesday 13th June at 5.30 pm in the St Cross Room, St Cross College

Studying science at Oxford was not just a matter for the colleges and the University, which set the formal curriculum and degree requirements. It was the students themselves who took an active interest in improving their learning and establishing a 'hidden curriculum'. They organised their own seminars, discussed scientific exhibits, were sometimes the first in Oxford to reproduce new effects (such as Hertzian waves), and even gave popular lectures on the latest scientific findings in the University Museum, which attracted large numbers of Oxfordians from all walks of life.

Two student-run societies, the Junior Scientific Club of 1882 and the Alembic Club of 1900, stood out among a plethora of other scientific clubs and societies. They became the social machinery that enabled students such as Henry Moseley, Frederick Soddy and Julian Huxley to launch their scientific careers by involving Oxford professors, pressing them for laboratory access and inviting luminaries of British and international science. Their Robert Boyle Lecturers included Nobel Laureates such as Rutherford, WH Bragg and FW Aston, and Conversaziones became early examples of science popularisation by Oxford students.

How unique was the Oxford example? How did it compare with Cambridge, which had its own but rather exclusive Natural Science Club? And can we link the British case to the ubiquitous German student scientific societies or the US scientific fraternities (which were at the beginning of the development of Greek-letter honorary societies)?
