SUMMARY:Neurodiversity with James Cracknell
DESCRIPTION:James Cracknell\, OBE\, will be hosting a discussion about Neurodiversity on Wednesday 24th April at 12:30 in Launchpad\, Quad Two. \nFollowing a stellar career rowing for Great Britain – winning two Olympic gold medals in 2000 and 2004\, and six World Championships – he continues to challenge himself with endurance adventures\, despite a life-threatening bike accident in 2010. While cycling across America he was hit by a fuel truck travelling at 70 mph. He suffered a contrecoup injury to the frontal lobe of his brain. James was never going to quit so embarked on a long journey of recovery back to full health. \nJames decided on a career change to help champion wellbeing in the workplace and now consults at Curve Workplaces as their Sustainability & Wellbeing Ambassador\, he works with his colleagues and their clients to advise on occupational health issues that can promote and maintain the health and wellbeing of employees. \nIt is a wonderful opportunity to hear James talk about Triumph over Adversity\, understanding the power of resilience and reinvention. \nBook your place here: memberofthefuture.app.link/8hFPpVVsIHb

SUMMARY:CSED Hackathon 2024
DESCRIPTION:The UCL CSED (Centre for Space\, Exochemistry Data)\, co-hosted with STFC DiRAC and UCL Data Intensive Science & Industry (DISI)\, is organising an in-person CSED hackathon that invites participants to work as a team and extract vital signals of exoplanets from simulated observations provided by mission experts involved in the ESA Ariel mission. Your innovative ideas will help towards our on going efforts to understand the nature of extrasolar planets and the conditions for life to emerge. \nIn addition to working on a challenging problem in a fun and dynamic environment (lunch and snacks are provided)\, we have also invited Professor Ofer Lahav (Vice-Dean (International) of UCL Faculty of Mathematical & Physical Sciences) and Luís Simões (Lead Data Scientist and co-founder at ML Analytics) to share their experiences in applying machine learning in Space Science from both academic and industrial perspectives. \nParticipation is free and open to individuals from various educational backgrounds and professions\, including students\, PhDs\, researchers\, and working professionals across all disciplines and universities\, so whether you are data scientists\, machine learning gurus\, astronomers\, passionate astronomy students or just machine learning amateurs\, you are more than welcome to join us! Our experience tells us that a great solution is more likely to present itself with a good mixture of expertise\, so don’t feel pressured to possess all the knowledge beforehand! \nJoin either as an individual or a pre-formed team (5 people max). You will be allocated into a team of 4 – 5 people on the day. Places are limited so secure your spot asap if interested. \nVisit the event website to learn more\, view the day’s agenda\, and book your space.

SUMMARY:Macmillan Coffee Morning
DESCRIPTION:Macmillan’s Coffee Morning is our biggest fundraising event to support people living with cancer\n\nPeople all over the UK host their own Coffee Morning and donations raised on the day are made to Macmillan -. \nA Coffee Morning can be whatever you want it to be. It could be at home\, on your driveway\, a hall or online\, whatever suits you best. You can hold a garden get together and throw a barbeque\, or treat your colleagues to some homemade bakes\, or even get together with friends for a takeaway. In 2022\, They raised over £12 million and hope to top that this year. \nWhen is Macmillan’s Coffee Morning?\nThe official date of Macmillan Coffee Morning is Friday 29 September but this doesn’t mean you can’t host at other times of the year! You can host your coffee morning whenever suits you best. \nHow you can get involved\nWhatever your reason to host\, no reason is too big or too small. All you have to do is sign up to host a Coffee Morning and we’ll send you a fundraising kit with top tips to get you started. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhy we exist\n\n\n\n\n\nMacmillan Cancer Support is here to do whatever it takes to support people living with cancer.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe changing story of cancer\n\n\n\n\n\nThe number of people being diagnosed with cancer is rising and more people are surviving cancer than ever before\, therefore this means the nature of cancer care itself needs to adapt and evolve to meet the rapidly changing needs of people living with cancer. But current cancer care provision is approaching a crisis point. Existing support services​ are struggling to cope\, yet the number of people living with cancer continues to grow. We need to act now to prevent a crisis in cancer care.​ Here is an overview of what we are doing to make sure their needs are met.
