We're delighted to be joined by guest speaker Sandi Toksvig OBE for our annual Alan Turing Lecture, Thursday 8 May at 5.00pm.
The Alan Turing Lecture, launched in 2017, is given by a leading authority from a key discipline on which Turing's work has had greatest impact. This year's lecture will examine how academic investigation may be skewed by confirmation bias and socially engineered distortions.
All are welcome to join this online event.

“I do often think I owe Cambridge everything. I would not have the career I’ve had – or the confidence – if it weren’t for Cambridge.”
British comedian and @kings.college alumnus Phil Wang returned to his old room for a chinwag with its current occupant, rugby Blue champ and Economics student, George Bland.
They find they have very different approaches to life and interior decoration but they both agree: the rugby field is not so far from the stand-up stage.
It's a classic 'My room, your room' in the latest edition of CAM. Tap the link in @cambridgeuniversity's bio for a chuckle.

Ahead of the Easter Festival, the Chapel has been undergoing its own ´Spring cleaning’. ⛪️
Walls and windows received a deep clean whilst the 17th century woodwork in the choir stalls was repaired and restored.

What advice do you think Phil Wang would give his younger self? 🤔
We asked the @kings.college alumnus the question in the latest edition of CAM, the Cambridge alumni magazine, which is live now.
We also showcase the rising stars of Cambridge’s literary scene, explore the joys of a year abroad (anyone used a Soviet telex system?), and learn about hacking photosynthesis from the Zhang Lab at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry.
And if that's not enough: catch up on the latest University news (including the launch of a new School), solve a brand new puzzle and get into all your favourite regulars.

Congratulations to the Light Blues on another fantastic clean sweep in this weekend's Boat Races. We're especially proud of @CUBCSquad President, King's alumnus Luca Ferraro (fourth from left), on his third victory in a row!🏆
These wins mark a fourth clean sweep for the Light Blues, in which they have won all six races (Lightweight Men's and Women's Races, Blue Boat Men's and Women's Races, and Reserve Men's and Women's races). This follows previous clean sweeps in 1993, 2018 and 2023.

A rare and significant archive of Alan Turing's unpublished papers has found a permanent home at King's. 📜
The papers reveal fascinating details about Turing's 'Delilah' project, which aimed to build a portable voice encoder for short distance military transmissions.
The archive was saved thanks to generous philanthropic support from XTX Markets, Friends of the Nation's Libraries, the National Heritage Fund and King's College.
