Alex Hopkins Lecture and Dinner 2026
2026-03-27 17:00 - 18:30
This year’s lecture, ‘Keeping it Light’, will be delivered by Dr James Dolan, from the University of Cambridge.

A light-hearted lecture about optical materials, science comedy, and the social science of science communication, in memory of Alex Hopkins

Scientists tend to know their stuff. James, for example, knows about light and how to make artificial materials (‘metamaterials’) which interact with light in unusual ways. Scientists also tend to want to share what they know with others. James, for example, will gladly tell you about his metamaterials. He might even attempt to do it through the medium of comedy. But scientists can have some funny ideas about what should happen when they tell the public about science. James certainly did. And social scientists, who also tend to know their stuff, have quite a bit to say about this. Whether or not the scientists, including James, are paying attention, however, is another question entirely.

Our speaker: Dr James Dolan

Dr James Dolan is an engineer, physicist and occasional science communicator who, when he isn’t teaching, researches how scientists use improvised comedy as a form of science communication. In this lecture, he’ll teach you how to make a metamaterial (not really something you can do at home), introduce you to the world of science comedy (hold your breath for the scientific ‘proto-joke’), and offer you some insights from the social science of science communication (yes, it does exist, and is absolutely fascinating).

The Alex Hopkins Fund

Alex 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.

Alex’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.

Booking

The lecture takes place at the Wolfson Lecture Theatre at the Yusuf Hamied Department of Chemistry and will be followed by a High Table in College in memory of Alex.

If you wish to attend the lecture only, please book through the Cambridge Festival.

If you wish to attend the dinner and lecture, please book for the dinner below and check the box on the form to be added to the lecture guest list (no need to book separately via the Cambridge Festival).

An Evening with the Director of the Churchill Archives - How Churchill Waged War
2026-05-12 18:00 - 20:00 | Union, University & Schools Club of Sydney, 25 Bent Street, Sydney, NSW, 2000, Australia
Union, University & Schools Club, 25 Bent Street, Sydney, NSW 2000

Churchill College alumni are warmly invited to a special evening at the Union, Universities & Schools Club, one of Sydney’s most distinguished private members’ clubs, on Tuesday 12 May 6:00pm to 8:00pm (Sydney Time) This event is presented in association with The Cambridge Society of NSW.

Join Allen Packwood OBE, Director of the Churchill Archives Centre at Churchill College, Cambridge, for his talk How Churchill Waged War, drawing on the private papers of Sir Winston Churchill to reveal how one of history’s most remarkable leaders made decisions under pressure—and what those decisions cost, From the catastrophe of the Dardanelles to the fall of Singapore, the archive reveals a Churchill far more complex than the legend. Given the world we find ourselves in right now, we suspect the evening will feel rather timely.

Allen is not just a keeper of these papers — he has spent his career interpreting them. His book How Churchill Waged War was published in 2018, and his most recent work, Churchill’s D-Day, co-authored with General Lord Dannatt, was published for the eightieth anniversary of Operation Overlord in 2024. He was awarded an OBE for services to archives and scholarship in 2016.

The Churchill Archives Centre holds the papers of Churchill, Thatcher, Major and almost 700 of their contemporaries. Allen likes to point out that it is the equivalent of four American Presidential Libraries. Expect some remarkable material.

This elegant yet relaxed gathering is a rare opportunity to reconnect with fellow alumni and engage directly with the Director of the Churchill Archives Centre. Places are limited—don’t miss out!

Dress code stipulated by the Club: Jacket mandatory, tie preferred but not required.

To book please use the link below and note that tickets are $55 or $35 for aged U35 & include drinks & canapes on arrival.
