Ahead of his Darwin College Lecture this Friday, Dr Keolu Fox, Ph.D., Assistant Professor at the University of California, San Diego, talked to us about genomics, sharing the benefits of genetic research, and the lessons to be learned from Indigenous priorities.

An extraordinarily powerful, passionate defence of women's place in history and right to be represented in the knowledge we share with the future from the one and only Sandi Toksvig last night. A full-to-the-rafters Lady Mitchell Hall laughed, cried, and rose as one for a richly deserved ovation.

Ahead of her Lecture this Friday, broadcaster, activist, writer and comedian Sandi Toksvig talked to us about the misogyny of algorithms; the importance of telling women's stories; and how her role as a Q Fellow at Cambridge has exorcised a few past demons.
