SUMMARY:John D Lawson Lecture and Reception – Prof. Stephen J. Blundell
DESCRIPTION:To boldly go: exploring the quantum materials universe with neutrons and muons \nCome along to R22 Pickavance Lecture Theatre or join online to hear from Prof. Stephen J. Blundell\, University of Oxford\, on the subject of the quantum materials universe. \nThe properties of the universe seem to be determined by a fixed set of fundamental constants. We cannot rerun the history of the universe with different sets of constants to see what would happen. But what if we could? Using the new science of quantum materials\, each crystal of a new substance hives us a new universe with a new set of constants\, laws\, and emergent particles. \nIn this lecture\, I will describe how neutrons and muons give us a window of these new universes\, allow us to see how quantum effects can be revealed through studying the microworld\, and how the technologies developed through these new avenues of research might impact everyone. \nIf you are interested in attending either online or in person\, please get in touch below to express your interest. \n\nGet in touch here to attend\n\nThis year\, the RAL Lawson Lecture is being included in the schedule of the ISIS 40th Anniversary. \nThis lecture is followed by a reception at 17:00 in the R22 Coffee Lounge and marquee – All welcome.

SUMMARY:AI Networking Breakfast
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an AI and Machine Learning networking breakfast\, hosted by members of the scientific community from across the campus. \nSince the general release of ChatGPT in November 2022\, interest in AI and ML technologies has skyrocketed\, shifting these algorithms from research activities into the public domain. While these technologies have been around for years\, this moment highlighted the cutting-edge possibilities and the vast potential for where they could go. Two years on\, progress in AI and ML continues to accelerate\, with new use cases emerging daily. \nHarwell Campus is a unique environment where science and technology converge. Groups like the Scientific Computing Division (SCD) regularly collaborate with the UK’s central facilities\, including the Central Laser Facility\, Diamond Light Source\, and ISIS Neutron and Muon Source. This integration has spurred the development of many AI and ML tools specifically for the scientific community. \nAs more companies are drawn to the campus\, beyond the core UK government-funded projects\, it’s the perfect time to come together to discuss the tools and technologies being developed\, explore potential collaborations\, and chart the future direction at the intersection of science and technology. \nWe invite you to join us to learn more about ongoing projects\, share your experiences\, and connect with like-minded colleagues. \nImage created by DALL-E 3 (ChatGPT) \n\nBook on the app

SUMMARY:RAL Lecture: Prof. Tony Freeth
DESCRIPTION:The Antikythera Mechanism: Nearly Impossible? \nCome along to R22 Pickavance Lecture Theatre or join online to hear from Prof. Tony Freeth\, University College London\, on the subject of the Antikythera Mechanism. \nIn 1901\, Greek sponge divers recovered a corroded lump from an ancient shipwreck near the tiny island of Antikythera\, between Crete and mainland Greece. Subsequently\, it split apart and revealed tiny precision gearwheels – a shocking discovery for ancient Greece. \nMore than a century later\, we know that the Antikythera Mechanisms was a highly sophisticated astronomical calculating machine\, constructed from bronze gearwheels. We also know that it originally included three gears with 53 teeth! How is that possible? \nThe latest model shows indications for the Sun\, Moon and planets as well as eclipse prediction. How confident can we be in this reconstruction? How much is certain? How much is conjectural? \nWhat is the history of research that has led to these conclusions? What are the implications of this technological revolution? \nIf you are interested in attending either online or in person\, please get in touch below to express your interest. \n\nGet in touch here to attend

DESCRIPTION:In this talk\, we’ll hear from experimental quantum physicist turned science communicator\, Daisy Shearer\, as they explore their personal journey in the lab and beyond as an autistic professional. \nDaisy will discuss their contribution to the book ‘Uncharted: How Scientists Navigate Their Own Health\, Research\, and Experiences of Bias’ and the broader experience of autistic individuals in academia and research. \nThis is a unique opportunity for both neurodiverse and neurotypical audiences to gain a deeper understanding of life on the spectrum from a first-hand perspective. \n\nRSVP your attendance here\n\nThis talk is brought to you by the members of The Rosie Project – a Harwell-based neurodiversity networking group. We aim to share best practice to enable neurodiverse teams to thrive in the workplace. We’re open to anyone with an interest\, whether or not you identify as neurodiverse. \nThe Rosie Project is open to everyone who has an interest in getting the best from their neurodivergent teams. We welcome neurotypicals and the inquisitive.
