Finally, the lecturer will present some recent projects by Foster + Partners, and set out his vision for the future of tall buildings, the new technologies that are improving them, and the benefits they offer to society. |

This lecture will describe the science behind a new class of drugs that are undeniably having a huge impact on cancer treatment and are changing lives of patients with cancer. These drugs do not target the tumour directly but enable the patient's immune system to fight tumours. The discussion will include a review of relevant immunology and focus on the mechanisms of several types of immunotherapies. |

On the 25th December 2021, the James Webb Space Telescope launched heading for an orbit four times further than the Moon. The largest and most advanced space telescope ever built, it intended to produce some of the most detailed and distant views of the Universe ever seen. In this talk, Dr Greg Brown of the Royal Observatory Greenwich will reveal some of Webb's most impressive images collected over the last two years and show how the telescope has exceeded all expectations. |
