In this month’s episode of #MadeAtUCL we’re growing. Join us as we explore three unique perspectives on growth and how it can be both a positive and negative concept. We chat with Dr Michelle Heys and Dr Simbarashe Chimhuya and hear about their technical solution to newborn healthcare, with Dr Philip Pogge Von Strandmann about how we can reduce the growing levels of co2 in the atmosphere, and lastly with Dr Seb Coxon to learn how beards of medieval Germany can help us understand masculinity today.

#MadeAtUCL Podcasts - Growth

Date: 26 October 2021
Speaker: Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth System Science at UCL Geography Department

About the UCL lunch hour lecture:
Climate change is the most critical and controversial issue facing the world in the twenty-first century. Everyone agrees we must keep global warming to under 2˚C, and under 1.5˚C if possible. But how can we do this while dealing with the other great challenges of our age: global poverty, population growth, environmental degradation and global security. COP26 in Glasgow is almost upon us and Prof. Maslin shows us how we can save our Planet from climate change while improving everyone’s lives.

This event is part of UCL’s climate campaign ‘Generation One’.  Together we are the new generation taking responsibility for climate action and turning science into actionable ideas. 
Join our new era of climate action at ucl.ac.uk/generation-one

How To Save Our Planet

We’re back for the second episode of Generation One: The Climate Podcast and this week we’re behind the scenes at COP26 in Glasgow.  

Our hosts Matt Winning and Mark Maslin recorded on the run, live from COP to catch guests in the hubbub of the main areas of the conference. Tune in to experience a slice of COP from a whole host of guests and hear them chat about everything from the wins at COP so far, melting ice caps, to sinking islands, to the amount of coffee at the conference...

This week we are talking COP26: what happened, what it means and where we go from here. Join our hosts Helen Czerski and Mark Maslin in conversation with Prof Kate Jones, Dr Priti Parikh and Ryan Phillip from the St Kitts and Nevis delegation, and they are discussing the COP agreement, what was missed, the big wins and the big misses.  

Helen and our guests cover the main takeaways from COP from deforestation to adaptation, loss and mitigation. We get into who was left out of COP, the impacts on the Small Island Alliance and the problem of western countries causing damage and expecting others to fix it.

Does the earth have to be a fashion victim?

Date of lecture: Thursday 12 January 2023

About the Lecture:
UK science has chronic diversity issues and shortages of specialist teachers in schools. Orbyts is a multi-award-winning movement founded at UCL, and now running across the UK, that creates partnerships between scientists and schools that are proven to address these issues. The programme provides school students with relatable science role models while empowering them to conduct original research projects. This structure of regular interventions, inspirational role models and active ownership of research is proving to be transformative; dispelling harmful stereotypes and profoundly shifting perceptions of science and scientists. It is particularly impactful for groups historically excluded from science. For example, our partner schools report 100% increases in girls uptake of A-level physics, following participation in an Orbyts project at GCSE. The programme has enabled more than 220 school students to become authors of scientific papers in the last 5 years. 
This year, Orbyts researchers will partner with schools to support research projects on: medical physics, exoplanets, aurorae, AI and machine learning, plasma, space weather and quantum physics.  Dr William Dunn will showcase a whistle-stop tour through some of last year's Orbyts projects, where possible letting recorded presentations by the schools do the talking.

Orbyts: Research-with-Schools Projects that Transform Inclusivity in Science

UKCTOCS (UK Collaborative Trial of Ovarian Cancer Screening) is one of the largest screening trials in ovarian cancer. More than 200,000 women from England, Wales and Northern Ireland took part in it, and it ran for almost two decades. Designing and running such a large and lengthy trial came with its own challenges. In this episode, Professor Usha Menon discusses the key challenges that UKCTOCS faced in its design, conduct an analysis, and how the team addressed them.

Further information is available on the UKCTOCS website at https://ukctocs.mrcctu.ucl.ac.uk/

*Second place winner of the Sounds of UCL competition*

This recording is capturing the sounds of the passing shelving trolley and the trolley used by the Library Porter when distributing an internal post within the UCL Libraries. The location is the Flaxman Gallery, Main Library Building. This recording was made by using 4 microphones placed along “St. Michael Overcoming Satan” statue, to emphasize the Flaxman Gallery spacious and circular character. It was done early Monday morning when the Library is closed for public. The only human inhabitants of this space are shelvers, Library porter and UCL cleaners.

Dr Kevin Drake, Department of Mechanical Engineering: 'WAVES AT MIDNIGHT'

A regular wave of 0.75Hz frequency breaking on a sloping beach in the UCL Ocean Towing Tank, with Dr Kevin Drake on eight course renaissance lute, playing 'Mr Dowland's Midnight' by John Dowland (1563-1626).

One of my colleagues thought at first that I might have placed a pre-recorded lute track alongside the sound of breaking waves during multi-track editing. Please note that it was a live single track recording with me playing the lute beside the beach.  Indeed, the repeated musical phrase at the ending was improvised on the basis of visual observation to synchronise the last chord with the last wave and then to follow through with a bass note.

Mechanical Engineering Wave Tank - Kate Oliver
The ocean towing tank can reproduce the waves found in deep water, and is often home to ship models, prototypes for extracting tidal energy, or sea-bourne structures. Engineers use this facility, under the Engineering café, to test their designs and get the information about how water moves around and through them that computer models still aren't good enough to give. Controlled by computers that determine the size and frequency of the waves, panels push and pull hundreds of litres of water into a working model of the ocean.

In this recording the two microphones are capturing the overall sounds of the Science Library entrance area while other two are placed on the floor: one microphone is standing outside of the library turnstile while the other one is being placed inside of the library turnstile - capturing those transitional sounds “coming in & going out” – or starting to tune to different mindsets.
