SUMMARY:Ladies of Quality & Distinction at the Foundling Museum
DESCRIPTION:The Foundling Museum present a landmark exhibition highlighting the hidden stories of women in the Foundling Hospital’s history.\nMarking 100 years of female suffrage\, Ladies of Quality & Distinction resets the focus of the Foundling Hospital story\, revealing portraits and stories of the remarkable women who supported both the establishment and the running of London’s Foundling Hospital. Despite its male face\, women permeate every aspect of the Hospital story; as mothers\, supporters\, wet nurses\, staff\, apprentice masters\, artists\, musicians\, craftsmen and foundlings. Yet for almost 300 years\, history has placed these women as a footnote to the story. \nThis exhibition brings these overlooked stories to the fore. Discover portraits of the ‘ladies of quality and distinction’ who in 1735 signed Thomas Coram’s original petition to King George II calling for the establishment of the Foundling Hospital. Displayed together for the first time\, these paintings replace the portraits of male governors in the Picture Gallery. \nDownstairs in the exhibition gallery\, the lives of the women who supported the day-to-day running of the institution are brought to life. Highlights include Mrs Prudence West\, a female inspector and the only woman to run a branch Hospital; Miss Eleanor Barnes\, one of the earliest female Governors; and Mrs Elizabeth Leicester\, an early matron of the Foundling Hospital who oversaw some of its most challenging years.

SUMMARY:Facts vs. Fake News: Who Decides What is True?
DESCRIPTION:We live in a world of potential misinformation\, of fake news and of powerful communications media (and often social media) that can be misappropriated. As some people turn their backs on experts and traditional information sources\, technology increasingly plays a crucial role in our search for the truth. So how have we ended up here\, and how do we know which information and what sources to trust? \nWhat are the political\, economic\, and social consequences of an attention- and algorithmically-driven society? And what is the role of academia\, research and science\, in a world where increasing numbers of people appear to reject scientific rigour in favour of whichever narrative simply reinforces their world and political view? \nJoin an expert panel of publishers\, journalists\, researchers and tech professionals in a lively discussion about these issues at this SSP Regional Event\, hosted at Springer Nature’s London campus. \nThe event is FREE\, and open to everyone interested. Wine\, beer and nibbles will be provided! \nTopics will include: \nHow do you know which information and what sources to trust? \nWhat is the role of journalists and the press in preventing false information from being published and shared? \nAre publishers giving enough prominence to rigorously assessed\, peer-reviewed research? \nHow are the ‘softer subjects’ of academic publishing distinctly suited to address these nuances in an increasingly ‘black-and-white’ world? \nWhat really is “data literacy”\, and how can we improve it? \nDoors: 5:30 pm\nTalks and Q&A: 6:30-7:45 pm\nClose: 8:30 pm \nRegistration is required\, as this is a free event and space is limited – register here.

SUMMARY:ThUNDDAR & IGT Networks Speed Dating event - The Institute of Physics
DESCRIPTION:The Institute of Physics are bringing people together to solve some problems via creative thinking in a sandpit/speed-dating style session.  \nParticipants will not need prior knowledge of the problem area to participate\, but must demonstrate an enthusiasm for working at the interface between disciplines. It will be an excellent opportunity to identify unique collaborative projects in multidisciplinary groups formed of clinicians\, engineers and basic scientists. \nRegistration deadline: 27 September 2018. Register here. \nAbout the day: \nPresentations: \nThe half-day event will focus on how engineering and physical sciences (EPS) innovation can help improve patient care and will begin with presentations by clinicians. Each clinician will describe one critical clinical challenge they are facing within their field. Each presentation will give an overview of current treatments and the limitations in current state-of-the-art technology which\, if improved\, could lead to better patient care. \nNetworking session: \nFollowing on from the presentations\, participants in the room will have the opportunity to speak to each clinician to discuss how they might contribute the project. Participants will rotate every ten minutes between each presenting clinician. \nProposals: \nAt the end of the rotation participants will join a group and then work together to produce an outline project proposal.  Each team will develop a short-term objective and a long-term vision around their chosen challenge\, which will be captured in a 1-page proposal and 5-minute oral presentation – their “pitch”. Assessment criteria will be provided on the day. \nEach group will then present their pitch to the judging panel. Funding will be allocated by a panel of experts in clinical and engineering/physical sciences research and potentially a representative from the EPSRC. The pump priming funding should be used to support the project at an early stage and help produce high quality publishable pilot data to enable a future funding application. \nUp to three groups will be awarded up to £50k for a project over 6 months which will contribute toward RA Salary and travel/subsistence. A small amount of funding (no more than £5K) may be used on consumables/equipment. Each Network together with the National Physical Laboratories (NPL) will contribute £50K. \nOrganised by the IOP Physical Acoustics Group\nSponsored by the EPSRC Therapy Ultrasound Network for Drug Delivery & Ablation Research (ThUNDDAR) and the EPSRC Image-Guided Therapies UK (IGT) Network+.

SUMMARY:Shifting Dimensions: National Poetry Day 2018
DESCRIPTION:This National Poetry Day\, Poet in the City transports you around the Knowledge Quarter and invite you to explore the themes of change and transformation through an exciting programme of live poetry performances and discussion. \nFrom the societal shifts in attitude and the activists that instigate them\, to the blossoming biological patterns of the natural world and the alternating architecture we build upon it\, they’ll be using poetry to interpret the meaning of change throughout our environment. \nMake That Change\nGreat Court\, British Museum \nAcclaimed American playwright Bonnie Greer and South African poet Leeto Thale celebrate both Black History Month and and National Poetry Day by taking a look through time to explore the role of activism in instigating change. \nBonnie Greer has campaigned for diversity in the Arts from the inside out and now invites you to look at pivotal points of progress and activism in her own life through readings of the poems that inspired her struggles and excerpts from her second novel  Entropy . Following Bonnie’s readings\, South African poet and artist Leeto Thale performs poems in honour of Nelson Mandela to mark the 100th anniversary of his birth. \nMeet a Scientist: National Poetry Day Special\n Deconstructing Patterns Exhibition\, Francis Crick Institute 1-3pm \n \nExplore the Francis Crick Institute as we unpick the billions of interlacing patterns threading together the natural world and enter the extraordinary universe of biological change. \nFrom before we are born our cells shift and change\, replicating and transforming in time\, reacting to their ever-changing environment. This National Poetry Day we join the Francis Crick Institute’s ongoing investigation into intricate cellular patterns and transformations\, with poet Helen Mort and two scientists on hand to bring Crick science to life and to answer any questions that you might have about life in the lab. \nIf These Walls Could Talk\n UCL Quad\, Gower Street\, 3-6pm \nAs times change and buildings remain\, how do the stories cemented within their walls influence how we live today? \nEstablished in 1826\, UCL has a long and varied history that is etched into its architecture. Many of the university’s spaces and buildings used today are named after academics and architects from the past. \nAs part of National Poetry Day\, poet and former industrial archaeologist Jo Bell\, and poet and playwright Yomi Sode will explore how our ideas of ourselves and our lives are shaped by the space around us.  One brick at a time\, they deconstruct the societal effects of architecture\, and ask how important it is to decolonise our environments to create a safe space for all through an afternoon of live poetry performance and discussion. \nIn partnership with UCL Culture.

SUMMARY:Igor and Moreno: Idiot-Syncrasy at the Place
DESCRIPTION:Don’t miss your chance to see the critically acclaimed Idiot-Syncrasy as it returns to The Place for one night only. \nWe started with wanting to change the world with a performance. We felt like idiots. \nThen we danced a lot. We jumped. We called on the folk traditions of Sardinia and the Basque Country. We sang. We jumped some more. We committed. \nNow we promise to persevere. We promise to be open. We promise to do our best. \nIdiot-Syncrasy is a dance performance by Work Place Artists Igor Urzelai and Moreno Solinas that uses jumping – both literally and metaphorically – to explore our capacity to persevere\, care and hope. This show is both playful and serious in how it welcomes audiences\, whilst gently demanding that they too are responsible for noticing change and difference. \nGet your tickets here. You can also stay after the show for a Q&A with the artists. \nPhoto credit: Alicia Clarke

SUMMARY:Clod Ensemble - Placebo at the Place
DESCRIPTION:A room full of expectation\, suggestion and infectious rhythm.  \nWhat is fake and what is real? Is the movement the medicine?  \nPlacebo is an invigorating celebration of the power we have to make ourselves feel better\, even when things are falling apart. \nSeven dancers and an audience attempt a series of experiments to discover what gives them pleasure and what might dull their pain. Movements collide\, overlap and multiply\, propelled by a rich original score that sweeps mischievously through euphoric club tracks to chewy classical fugues. \nPlacebo continues Clod Ensemble’s reputation for finely crafted\, provocative performance\, ambitious in scale and concept. \nFor the curious… \nPlacebo will be accompanied by a series of talks\, workshops and events which will delve deeper into many of the questions that the topic of ‘placebo’ inspires. \n\nTue 6 Nov 6pm – 7.15pm\nWorkshop: Performing Medicine\nAn introduction to Clod Ensemble’s pioneering arts programme for healthcare professionals.\nThu 1 Nov 6pm\nPanel discussion: Dance Yourself Better \nWhat role can movement and dance play in improving health outcomes? Join us for a discussion with patients\, health professionals and artists.\nWed 7 Nov Stay after the show for a Q&A with Artistic Directors Suzy Wilson and Paul Clark.\n\nPlease see this website page for updates of other Placebo contextual events in other venues including the British Library and the Wellcome Collection. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Knowledge Quarter Private View: Charles Dickens: Man of Science
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we have a last look around Charles Dickens: Man of Science before the exhibition closes… \nIn 1839\, the writer and physiologist George Henry Lewes visited Charles Dickens at Doughty Street and examined his bookshelves. He left accusing Dickens of being ‘completely outside philosophy\, science\, and the higher literature’. For over 150 years\, it was thought that Charles Dickens was either not interested in science\, or was downright hostile to it. But Dickens’s science was not the science of books or learned institutions; for Dickens\, science mattered when it transformed lives by curing disease or cleaning streets\, or opening up new vistas of wonder in a humdrum world. \nCharles Dickens: Man of Science aims to reveal Dickens not only as a scientific enthusiast\, but as the key communicator of science in the Victorian age. Displaying his writings alongside artefacts\, instruments\, and texts of the developing sciences\, we share the story of Dickens’s friendships and scientific passions. Journeying through some of Dickens’s favourite sciences – geology\, thermodynamics\, chemistry\, and medicine – we reveal that what made him a great writer was precisely what made him a man of science. \nReserve your space here.

SUMMARY:Remembering the Kindertransport: 80 Years On
DESCRIPTION:“What is my key message to future generations? Tolerance.”\n– Elsa Shamash\, Kindertransport refugee \nTo mark the 80th anniversary of the Kindertransport\, discover the stories of six of the Kinder (child refugees) in their own words. \nIn 1938-39 the British government allowed 10\,000 Jewish and other ‘non-Aryan’ children from occupied Europe to come to Britain. This remarkable rescue operation became known as the Kindertransport. Now in their 80s and 90s\, the Kinder have given their testimony through the medium of film. You can also see personal objects and artefacts that they brought with them from their homelands. \nAs children they escaped violence and persecution\, but went through painful separations\, and their integration into British society was not always straightforward. This exhibition tells the story of rescue as well as stories of rupture\, loss and regret. \nThe Jewish Museum also has an extensive programme of talks\, lates and family events relating to this exhibition which can be found here.

SUMMARY:A woman and a doctor? Activism\, medicine and the fight for equality
DESCRIPTION:Should gender matter in the medical profession? Join the Royal College of Physicians museum for a special evening focused on the struggle for female medical equality in the 20th century. \n\n\nFeatures illuminating short talks\, an ‘in conversation’ with Dr Lesley Hall and Dr Leslie Brock\, and curator-led tour of the acclaimed exhibition ‘This vexed question: 500 years of women in medicine’.\nAt the beginning of the 20th century a member of staff at the London School of Medicine for Women said: ‘Medicine is a jealous mistress and those who would win her favours must not worship at any other shrine.’ \nWhile women had been included as doctors on Britain’s new medical register since the 1860s\, the larger question of what it meant to be a woman and a doctor took on new urgency in the early 1900s. \nCould a woman be a doctor and a suffragette?\nShould women doctors model themselves on male clinicians or be something completely different?\nDid gender matter at all? \nThis ‘in conversation’ evening with Dr Lesley Hall and Dr Claire Brock will reflect on activism\, gender and the tumultuous turn of the 20th century for women physicians and surgeons. Through short lectures and lively discussion\, the event will delve into challenging questions around women’s careers\, family lives and roles in the political movements of this period. \n\nProgramme\n6.00pm: Drinks reception\n6.15pm: Exhibition tour of ‘This vexed question’ (pre-book only\, places are limited)\n7.00pm: Short talks:\nBattles not yet won: women doctors between the Wars Dr Lesley Hall\nVexing Questions for Medical Women\, 1860-1918 Dr Claire Brock\n7.40pm: Lesley Hall and Claire Brock in conversation with Royal College of Physicians museum curator\, Dr Kristin Hussey\n8.15pm (approx.): Exhibition viewing and pay bar\n9.00pm: Close \n\n\n\n\nBook your ticket here.
