Study in UK: Female Students Enrolled in Science Programs in Steady Increase
A Research Opportunity at the Essex Record Office for Master’s or Ph.D. Students Interested in the History of Science and Technology
Within the varied holdings of the Essex Record Office (ERO) are a number of collections of value for researching the history of science, technology, engineering and medicine. These include over 100,000 photographs from the Marconi Company, dating from the 1890s to the 1980s.
In collaboration with the British Society for the History of Science (BSHS), the ERO is offering the chance for a Master’s or Ph.D. student to spend four weeks (or equivalent part-time) investigating the potential of collections held at ERO for research in science, technology and engineering subjects, and to raise awareness of and engagement with particular records – primarily the Marconi Photographic Archive.

Personalised medicine: the hope and the hype, Wed 4 July 19:00, Anglia Ruskin University
We are pleased to announce the latest in our series of Café Scientifique events, to be held on Wednesday 4 July at 19:00 in the newly refurbished students' union bar (Café 92), Anglia Ruskin University.
In this session, Dr Gemma Chandratillake (Education and Training Lead, East of England Genomic Medicine Centre) will be talking about how genomic technologies will increasingly be used to guide healthcare, and also debunking some of the hype around direct-to-consumer DNA tests.
On 11 April 2018, a small group of CSES members were privileged to receive a guided tour of Lord Rayleigh's laboratory at Terling Place, which remains today largely as it was left in the 1940s.
Our thanks to Professor Edward Davies, University of Cambridge, for offering us this wonderful and rare opportunity.
For those who missed it, we will try to organise another tour in the future, with priority spaces offered to those on the waiting list from April.
Here are some photographs courtesy of Roy Hilsley and David Humber.
We are pleased to announce that we have set the dates for our social meals and drinks for the remainder of 2018.
Our members, and their guests, are very welcome to join us at the following events:
- Chinese buffet (Thursday 14 June) at San Chinese
- Curry (Thursday 18 October) at Balti King
- Christmas meal/drinks (Thursday 13 December) at Wetherspoon's
These are excellent opportunities for all members to meet, network and share an enjoyable evening. We particularly encourage new members to come along and meet their counterparts.
We are also organising at least one Café Scientifique event for later in the year: please watch this space!
We look forward to seeing you there.
