LINDEMANN REUNION<br />

In October, we staged our 20<strong>11</strong> Lindemann Reunion.<br />

Among the returning alumni of the Lindemann Trust<br />

Fellowship were Professor Robin Marshall and Professor<br />

Brian Cox. All of the guests were able to catch up with old<br />

friends and make new ones at a drinks and buffet reception.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Lindemann Trust Fellowship is a grant giving body for<br />

post-doctoral scientists wishing to do research in America.<br />

As such, a broad range of scientific fields was represented at<br />

the event, from atomic physics to biomolecular science,<br />

astrophysics and beyond. <strong>The</strong> cross-pollination of ideas<br />

between alumni was wonderful to see.<br />

Retiring to the comfort of <strong>The</strong> Wedgewood Room for<br />

coffee, guests and members of the public were treated to a<br />

lecture by Professor Robin Marshall. Professor Marshall is<br />

currently touring with a special lecture to mark the<br />

centenary of the discovery of the nucleus. <strong>The</strong> lecture<br />

highlighted the practicality and indeed, morality of nuclear<br />

power. It created the springboard for a fascinating<br />

discussion.<br />

A thoroughly enjoyable and enlightening evening was had<br />

by guests and the combination of a reunion with a popular<br />

lecture drew wonderful feedback and suggestions for future<br />

events.<br />
