SUMMARY:Women in STEM Dinner 2025
DESCRIPTION:For International Women’s Day 2025\, we are excited to host our second Women in STEM Dinner on Friday 7 March\nFollowing the tremendous success of last year’s inaugural event\, this dinner celebrates Churchill’s women in STEM and fosters connections across disciplines and career stages.\n\nThis year\, we are delighted to welcome our new Master\, Professor Sharon Peacock\, to give an opening address.\n\nSeating at the dinner will be mixed – JCR\, MCR\, SCR\, and alumni – offering the perfect opportunity to forge new connections with like-minded individuals at all career stages.\nProgramme\n\n 	Arrive from 6.00pm: Register and collect name badge on the concourse\n 	6.15–7.00pm: Short talks from a few of our inspiring women in STEM\, past and present in the Wolfson Hall\n 	7.00pm: Networking drinks reception in the Buttery\n 	7.30pm: Formal dinner (common table alumni/fellows/students.

This bursary\, formally established in 2021\, is open to all female undergraduate students at Churchill College studying any STEM subject. Donations of any size add up to make a big difference\, and with your help we hope to endow the bursary so that it can be awarded in perpetuity.\nStudents and Fellows\nBook in the normal way for formals/High Table.\n\nDinner for all students is subsidised to cost only £10\, including drinks\, soft and alcoholic options available (you cannot bring your own for this dinner). \n\nIt is possible to book 1 guest per person for this event.

SUMMARY:Alex Hopkins Lecture and Dinner
DESCRIPTION:This year’s lecture will be delivered by Professor Catherine Green (U93)\, from the University of Oxford. \n\n\n\n\n\nCatherine Green is a Churchill alumna\, English biochemist and recipient of an OBE for her services to science and public health. She is professor of clinical biomanufacturing at the University of Oxford\, where she heads the Nuffield Department of Medicine’s Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility and is a Fellow at Exeter College\, Oxford.   \n\n\n\nProfessor Green’s talk is entitled ‘Making Vaccines\, for the Last Pandemic and the Next One’\, and is an accessible and entertaining insight into the development of of the OxfordAstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine\, as detailed in the book Vaxxers which she co-wrote with Sarah Gilbert. \n\n\n\nThe lecture takes place at the Pfizer Lecture Theatre in the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry on Lensfield Road (please note this is a different lecture theatre to previous years\, though on the same site). This will be followed by a drinks reception and dinner in College\, along with after-dinner drinks in the Cockcroft Room. See below for booking details. \n\n\n\n\n\nOur speaker: Professor Catherine Green OBE\n\n\n\n\nProfessor Green’s passion for science was solidified during her years spent studying biochemistry as an undergraduate at Churchill. She went on to receive an Imperial Cancer Research Fund (now Cancer Research UK) scholarship to complete her PhD research. Prior to joining the University of Oxford in 2012\, Green held several prestigious fellowships\, including a Marie Curie Fellowship at the Institut Curie in Paris\, where she studied DNA damage in human cells and a Cancer Research UK Research Fellowship in the Department of Zoology at the University of Cambridge. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, Professor Green specialises in creating vaccines for clinical trials. She and her team at the Clinical Biomanufacturing Facility have developed several novel vaccines for first-in-human trials\, targeting diseases such as malaria\, Ebola virus\, tuberculosis\, influenza\, Zika virus\, Middle East respiratory syndrome and rabies\, amongst others. \n\n\n\nIn 2021\, Green was awarded an OBE for her services to science and public health following her significant contribution as manufacturing lead in the development of the OxfordAstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Alex Hopkins Fund\n\n\n\n\nAlex Hopkins was a student and Teaching Fellow in Chemistry at Churchill College who died tragically young in 2006. Each year\, the Alex Hopkins Fund supports the award of one or more prizes for outstanding overall achievement in the final Tripos examination in Chemistry\, as well as sponsoring an annual lecture to be held in the Department of Chemistry. \n\n\n\nAlex’s infectious enthusiasm and humour characterised his teaching and his exceptional ability to communicate his passion for science. The lectures\, although routed in science\, aim to be as much about entertaining as educating and are designed to be appealing and accessible to all. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBooking\n\n\n\nIf you wish to attend the lecture only\, please book through the Cambridge Festival site. \n\n\n\nIf you wish to attend the dinner and lecture\, please book for the dinner below and check the box to be added to the lecture guest list. \n\n\n\n\n\nDinner\n\n\n\nAlumni and non-members: please use the form at the bottom of this page to book tickets to the dinner and after-dinner drinks.
