The border photo features a phrase well-known to many Johnians scratched into the Chapel roof. While we do not condone graffiti in any form, we thought this particular message should be shared with you, along with some of the Chapel’s many hidden gems. We are still looking for stories of night-climbing at Cambridge from Johnians who may remain anonymous.

As co-director of Cast Offs , Channel 4’s latest foray into thought-provoking comedy drama, Amanda Boyle (1992) is no stranger to provocative, thoughtful and revolutionary projects. this brilliantly observed six part series aired last November to a plethora of admiring reviews thrilled by its pointed satire and dark humour. A fictionalised reality tV show about six disabled people marooned on a remote island, Cast Offs seeks to cut sharply through the mire of trite sentimentality that so often surrounds explorations of disability onscreen. For Amanda, getting involved with the production was an obvious choice and one she describes as a ‘unique experience’. She particularly relished the opportunity to work with lead writer Jack Thorne, a regular for Skins and Shameless , and with the ‘very talented cast’, in her biggest directing job to date. Her experience making award-winning short films, her years spent at Working Title Films, and her time involved with the exciting theatre scene in Cambridge, helped to prepare her for this immense challenge. As a Philosophy student at St John’s, supervised by Professor Heal, ‘a woman I greatly respect’, Amanda was able to immerse herself in both acting and devising productions. From Shakespeare to musicals, Greek tragedy to ‘a very silly comedy show’, Amanda’s ‘lasting impression’ of her time here is of ‘some thrilling theatrical collaborations with very dynamic women’, which convinced Amanda that her future lay in directing film. I found Cast Offs an engaging and unsettling viewing experience, one that was well worth its frequently uncomfortable scenes. It’s also extremely funny, by turns wickedly amusing and wrenchingly moving. The three episodes that Amanda directed, ‘Dan’, ‘April’ and ‘Carrie’, are filled with subtle and achingly nuanced performances from the central cast, each of whom share their character’s disability. Victoria Wright, who plays April, evokes a quiet, desperate sadness in her portrayal of a grief-stricken woman, protected only by a gently sardonic wit honed over years of coping with the reactions of those around her to her cherubism. Peter Mitchell is also winning as recently paraplegic Dan, struggling to renegotiate life, and his relationship with his well-meaning father, in very changed circumstances. Throughout the series, it is very apparent that far from being their defining characteristic, as so often in depictions of the disabled on screen, their disabilities are but one part of their lives, and only a fraction of the stories that they have to tell. I can only urge you to catch this unmissable series on 4OD if you have not already had a chance to see it. One of an emerging generation of female British filmmakers, alongside Andrea Arnold ( Fish Tank, Red Road ), who are offering new and exciting possibilities from the medium of film, Amanda is now working on her first feature film, and a big multi- media project with the National Theatre. Based on the talent in evidence here, I’m excited to see what she has in store for her audience next. Cast Offs was nominated for the Royal Television Society’s Best Drama Series Award 2009. page 4 Lent Term 2010 Alumni News Republic takes off from Trafalgar’s Fourth Plinth Ian Walker (2000) put forward LaundryRepublic, his dry cleaning startup, to take part in the Trafalgar Square Fourth Plinth living art display on a whim.

  • Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events
    © The Authors. Volume compilation © 2011 Portland Press Limited Chapter 3 Communicating Biochemistry: Meetings and Events Ian Dransfield and Brian Beechey Scientific conferences organized by the Biochemical Society represent a key facet of activity throughout the Society’s history and remain central to the present mission of promoting the advancement of molecular biosciences. Importantly, scientific conferences are an important means of communicating research findings, establishing collaborations and, critically, a means of cementing the community of biochemical scientists together. However, in the past 25 years, we have seen major changes to the way in which science is communicated and also in the way that scientists interact and establish collabo- rations. For example, the ability to show videos, “fly through” molecular structures or show time-lapse or real-time movies of molecular events within cells has had a very positive impact on conveying difficult concepts in presentations. However, increased pressures on researchers to obtain/maintain funding can mean that there is a general reluctance to present novel, unpublished data. In addition, the development of email and electronic access to scientific journals has dramatically altered the potential for communi- cation and accessibility of information, perhaps reducing the necessity of attending meetings to make new contacts and to hear exciting new science. The Biochemical Society has responded to these challenges by progressive development of the meetings format to better match the

Bob Hodges and his colleagues worked hard to determine how much income a protein research network could achieve from commercialization of the research output to continue the network after the end of the third period of support. Their analysis clearly showed that there was no clear path with the existing institutional structure by which the basic research networks in the biosciences could be sustained by income from commercialization of the new knowledge produced from research and the private sector. Based on our own experience in commercialization, we have explored the possibility of setting up a national commercialization institute linked to the biosciences networks that could facilitate the transfer of new knowledge from basic research to potential commercial application. In discussion with governments, the private sector and many scientists in the biological sciences such an institutional innovation is needed if we are to meet the commercialization objectives set by the government for basic research.
