SUMMARY:Training Course: Best Practices in Laboratory Management
DESCRIPTION:Laboratory management is a subject that is often leaned on the job\, with limited training opportunities for those new to the role. \nThis course is aimed at both researchers who are new to management\, and managers who are new to the laboratory setting. It will provide a foundation of knowledge in various areas of laboratory management that participants can use to improve practices in their own workplace. \nA sustainability module is also included. This module is designed for laboratory leaders and decision-makers\, focusing on strategies to reduce the environmental impact of laboratory operations. It highlights how leadership can drive sustainable change by implementing policies and practices that minimise resource consumption and promote responsible innovation. \nParticipants will examine practical and strategic approaches to enhance sustainability across laboratory systems — including optimizing energy efficiency\, reducing plastic and water usage\, and fostering sustainable supply chain partnerships. \nDates:\n\n4 November\n\nTime: 09:30 – 16:30 \nVenue: Advance Training Centre\, MRC Harwell\, Harwell Campus\, OX11 0RD \nCost: £400 \n\nBook course here\n\nWho is this course for?\n\nResearchers who have recently moved into laboratory management\nManagers who are new to science\n\nCourse takeaways:\n\nLaboratory Health and Safety\, including Control of Substances Hazardous to\nHealth (COSHH).\nSustainable Laboratory Practices\nInventory Management\nQuality Management Systems\nResearch Integrity\n\n\nBook course here

SUMMARY:RAL Lecture – “The Demand for Qualified Women”: Women Mathematicians in Britain During WW1
DESCRIPTION:Come along to R22 Pickavance Lecture Theatre or join online to hear from Professor June Barrow-Green on the subject of Women Mathematicians in WW1.\nDate: Thursday 5th November 2026 \nTime: 14:00 – 15:00 \nThere will be coffee/tea served in R22 Coffee Lounge at 15:00. All welcome. \nCampus members with RAL site passes wishing to attend in person\, please go straight to Pickavance Lecture Theatre. \nCampus members without RAL site passes and non-campus members wishing to attend\, please use the Zoom link to attend the talk remotely. \n\nZoom link\n\nThe First World War acted as a catalyst to provide women with unique opportunities to enter the male-dominated field of industrial engineering. This was particularly apparent at the establishments involved in the advancement of aeronautics and its related fields. These included: \n\nThe Royal Aircraft Factory which was responsible for the design and testing of new aircraft;\nThe National Physical Laboratory which focussed on the theoretical aspects of aerodynamics; and\,\nA department in the British Admiralty established to address issues relating to the strength and integrity of aircraft structures.\n\nWithin all three settings\, there was a strong demand for individuals with mathematical expertise. As growing numbers of men were conscripted into military service\, this demand was increasingly met by recruiting and employing suitably qualified women. \nIn this talk\, I shall describe the various ways in which mathematicians supported the war effort and examine the extent to which women were involved. \nAbout the speaker: \nProfessor June Barrow-Green is Emeritus Professor of History of Mathematics at The Open University. In 2025\, Professor Barrow-Green was awarded the LMS/BSHM Hirst Prize for her research and leadership in history of mathematics. Read more here. \n\nZoom link

We have a different theme each month – e.g. mini-beasts\, dinosaurs or weather\, and every session includes wildlife exploration\, sensory play\, stories and crafts. We start with child-led play and then come together for a story (it’s a good idea to bring a snack and a drink for your child to eat at this point\, we provide tea and coffee for grown ups) and usually some singing before we move on to a few extra activities\, often including a craft. A lovely way to spend quality time in the great outdoors with your child. \nPlease note activities will take place outdoors – dress for the weather! In winter we may head into the centre for the second half of the session to warm up with a story and crafts by the stove\, but we always start outdoors. \nYou only need to book a place for your child\, not for the accompanying adult. It’s fine to bring baby siblings along\, they do not need a ticket. \nPlease note the centre is accessible by public transport with regular buses (including connection to Didcot Parkway railway station) serving Milton Park\, a few minutes walk from the centre.
