25 Apr 2020 - 10:00 am to 4:30 pm
King's College

Please note that due to the current situation with COVID-19 (Coronavirus), King's College has made the difficult decision to cancel the Henry VI Circle Lunch on 25 April 2020. Efforts will, however, be made to find an alternative date for the event later in the year. All guests registered to attend will be contacted in the coming days to let them know of this decision. If you have any questions in the interim, please call us on 01223 331481 or email events@kings.cam.ac.uk .

King's College is delighted to announce the annual Henry VI Circle Lunch for College Legators, which will be held at King’s on Saturday, 25th April 2020. Executors are invited to join the occasion on behalf of the estate that they represent.

Refreshments will be served in the Chetwynd Room during registration, before an update is given on the progress of the King’s Campaign. Lunch will then be served in the Saltmarsh Rooms, after which we will welcome Resident King’s Members to present their research.

James Dolan is the first Junior Research Fellow in Science Communication at King's. Over the next four years, he will continue his research at the intersection of nanophotonics and soft matter physics (“making optical materials make themselves”), whilst also practising and researching science communication.

It is likely you have read about Laura Brassington in the most recent King’s Parade magazine. She is a PhD student and is researching the correspondence network of Charles Darwin. We are excited to have her with us and look forward to hearing more about this exciting project.

You may then choose to attend either a musical recital in the Provost’s Lodge, or to tour the College Gardens with Head Gardener Steven Coghill, before you relax with a hot drink.  If you can stay on afterwards, doors will open for Evensong at 5.15pm with seating reserved for guests of the event.

The programme is available to download.

The Henry VI Circle Lunch is free of charge for Legators to attend with a guest. There is no cost to Executors who attend.

If you have any questions, email events@kings.cam.ac.uk or ring +44(0)1223 331481.

We look forward to seeing you.

The Speakers

James Dolan

James is a new Junior Research fellow in science communication, having joined the College just last October after a postdoc in Chicago. In this talk, he will discuss how an engineer turned physicist is now turning (again) into a social scientist, and will introduce some of the research he is undertaking in nanotechnology, science communication with policy makers, and science improv.

Laura Brassington

Laura is a Graduate Student and will talk on her PhD thesis, “Charles Darwin’s chief scientific instrument: his correspondence network”.
