  • Woman from Mars a New Play by Nicola Baldwin Directed by Cat Robey
    Woman From Mars A new play by Nicola Baldwin Directed by Cat Robey Online scratch performance of extracts plus Q&A Hosted by UCL Centre for Outer Space Studies (COSS) Introduced by Dr. David Jeevendrampillai, COSS Director BECKY SIMON as Helen Sharman PETER CLEMENTS as Sergei Krikalev LYNDA ROOKE as Stella Shaw Composer & sound designer Louis Milner Russian language coaching Shishkina Eugenia Thanks to Lucy Stagg, Albert Brenchat Aguilar. In 1991, chemist Helen Sharman became the first British astronaut, when she joined the crew of Soyuz TM-12 to conduct experiments on Mir space station. Dubbed ‘The Girl From Mars’ by British tabloids, Sharman was an industrial chemist at Mars Confectionary when she answered the call to space. She launched on 18 May 1991 with cosmonauts Sergei Krikaley and Anatoly Artsebarsky and returned to earth on 26 May with Viktor Afanasyey and Musa Manarov. While Krikalev and Artsebarsky remained on Mir the second Russian revolution happened, the Soviet Union, and its government-run space programme, ceased to exist. Set on Helen Sharman’s last day aboard Mir, reflecting upon her journey to get there, and the risks of returning home, the play is both a tribute to Sharman’s achievements and a story about personal and global transformation, the chemistry of human life. Since returning to Earth, Helen Sharman has directed her pioneering efforts towards education. In addition to numerous awards, she was recognised in the 2018 New Year Honours for services to Science and Technology Outreach. In recognition of her encouragement of young children to study STEM, an online children’s drama will be created, with supporting activities in Science, PSHE and Drama.

  • Graduation 2013. Friday 19 July 2013 the University of Sheffield
    Graduation 2013. Friday 19 July 2013 The University of Sheffield Your graduation day is a special day for you and your family, a day for celebrating your achievements and looking forward to a bright future. As a graduate of the University of Sheffield you have every reason to be proud. You are joining a long tradition of excellence stretching back more than 100 years. The University of Sheffield was founded with the amalgamation of the School of Medicine, Sheffield Technical School and Firth College. In 1905, we received a Royal Charter and Firth Court was officially opened by King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra. At that time, there were 363 students reading for degrees in arts, pure science, medicine and applied science. By the time of our centenary, there were over 25,000 students from more than 100 countries, across 70 academic departments. Today, a degree from Sheffield is recognised all over the world as a hallmark of academic excellence. We are proud of our graduates and we are confident that you will make a difference wherever you choose to build your future. With every generation of graduates, our university goes from strength to strength. This is the original fundraising poster from 1904/1905 which helped raise donations for the University of Sheffield. Over £50,000 (worth more than £15 million today) was donated by steelworkers, coal miners, factory workers and the people of Sheffield in penny donations to help found the University. A century on, the University is now rated as one of the top world universities – according to the Shanghai Jiao Tong Academic Ranking of World Universities.
