This week we are very fortunate to have Professor Bernard Stiegler join us for the discussion of his 'To Love, to Love Me, to Love Us' in Acting Out.

With any questions or suggestions e-mail Tania Espinoza at ate22@cam.ac.uk

An informal careers event held for students and graduates who want to find out more about careers in journalism, broadcasting, film, publishing, science communication, media law and media management.

Last year over 65 participants, from freelancers to large organisations, attended and students were able to find out about possible job opportunities, career paths, and the realities of a media career. Individual participants were able to discuss their own careers, while organisational representatives talked about their companies.

Come along to find out more about a career in the media and to make new contacts which may be mutually beneficial.

A handful of high-profile fraud cases hit the headlines every year. Recent examples include the Hwang cloning case from Korea and the Schön nanotechnology case from Germany. Such cases raise questions about whether peer review can be expected to detect fraud and how much resource journals should invest in such procedures. Some argue that serious cases of data fabrication represent such an extreme of aberrant behaviour that we cannot hope to prevent them or are so rare that the costs of policing the vast majority of innocent work outweighs the possible benefits. Others believe editors should focus on less dramatic forms of misconduct and questionable behaviour which, being more common, might actually have a more harmful effect on the research literature.

Liz Wager, Chair of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), and author of Getting Research Published (Radcliffe Publishing) will address these issues.

NEW READING SERIES!

The Cambridge Reading Series (CRS) is a new cycle of poetry readings taking place at the Faculty of English in Cambridge. Dialogic in form and international in scope, CRS revises the conventional performance format. In addition to reading their own work, both poets will also read the work of another poet. Each reading will be accompanied by a pamphlet publication featuring a selection of the participating poets’ work and critical responses.

Readings begin at 7:30pm and are held in the Judith E. Wilson Drama Studio, in the Faculty of English, West Road, Cambridge.

A full list of up-coming dates and readers is given below. Please direct any queries to Ryan Dobran (rdobran [at] gmail [dot] com) or see the CRS website: crs0hq.tumblr.com

British Pharmacological Society (BPS) sponsored event:

Sir Tim Hunt, FRS - 'The control of cell division'

Understanding how cells grow and multiply is pivotal to cancer research.

Sir Tim and his team have been studying how families of proteins, known as 'cyclins' and 'cyclin dependent kinases', control the timing and triggering of normal cell division. All cancer cells grow out of control and Sir Tim's research is trying to explain what goes wrong in these cells and potentially highlights new ways to treat the disease. Sir Tim was awarded a Nobel Prize in Medicine for his discovery regarding cell cycle regulation in 2001.

Sir Tim will give us an insight into his latest research as well as a close look at the important developments taking place on the fight against cancer.

This talk is free for CUBioSoc members, 1 pound for non members.
