Each year, the Royal Medallists are agreed by RSE Council and then approved by Her Majesty. As the royal medals recognise achievement in all intellectual fields, it was decided to unify them by commissioning one design for all of the royal medals. Inspired by symbols on the Society’s Coat of Arms, the distinguished designer and engraver, Malcolm Appleby, translated images of the royal crown, radiant sun and stag and deer hound. Medals for 2018 were awarded to: David Climie OBE, (right) for his outstanding contribution to the field of Civil Engineering, particularly for his work on the Queensferry Crossing; (read more on pages 14 & 15), Professor Richard Henderson CH FRS, (far right) for his outstanding contribution to the field of Molecular Biology; and Thea Musgrave CBE, for her outstanding contribution to the betterment of humankind through music. David Climie and Richard Henderson received their Medals from His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, at the Ceremony on 5 July. Thea Musgrave (right, photograph ©Kate Mount) is based in New York and, due to other commitments in the USA, was unable to be present at the Ceremony. Her Medal was received on her behalf by the RSE President. Thea Musgrave will be in Edinburgh in August to attend two performances of her work at the Edinburgh International Festival and it is anticipated that she will be presented with her Medal at one of these concerts in the Usher Hall. The citation for Mr Climie was read by Sir Duncan Michael FREng FRSE, Trustee of the Ove Arup Foundation. Professor Andrew Miller CBE FRSE, Former Principal & Vice-Chancellor, University of Stirling read the citation for Professor Henderson. The citation for Thea Musgrave was presented by Shonaig Macpherson CBE FRSE, Chair, Royal Lyceum Theatre. 2 resource summer 2018 The IEEE/RSE James Clerk Maxwell Award The IEEE and the Royal Society of Edinburgh created a joint award in 2006 to recognise groundbreaking contributions that have had an exceptional impact on the development of electronics and electrical engineering or related fields. The annual award consists of a gold medal, bronze replica, a certificate and an honorarium. The award is named in honour of the 19th-Century Scottish mathematician and physicist, James Clerk Maxwell, who laid the foundations of electromagnetic wave theory, radio propagation, microwave techniques and radio communications. James Clerk Maxwell was elected to the Fellowship of the RSE in 1856, at the age of 24. On 5 July, His Royal Highness also presented the IEEE/RSE James Clerk Maxwell medals to the 2018 joint recipients, Thomas Haug and Philippe Dupuis. The awards were made in recognition of leadership in the development of the first international mobile communications standard, with subsequent evolution into worldwide smartphone data communication. The RSE was very pleased to welcome the IEEE President, Mr Jim Jefferies, who read the citation for the two awardees (left). His Royal Highness is pictured above (left), presenting Philippe Dupuis with his medal and (right) speaking with Thomas Haug later.

A balanced personality ...? Although both her parents hailed from the west of Scotland, Anne was born in Arbroath and spent her formative years on the east coast, before also establishing her working career there. Despite the amount of time she has spent in the east, she feels a special affinity with the west and so is peculiarly divided between the two. Reflecting on this, she commented that she likes to think this helps her to remain balanced (rather than in two minds). Anne loved her years spent in education, enjoying school in Dundee and university in Edinburgh; always appreciating what she recognised, even then, as the amazing opportunity of being able to study so many different subjects that interested her. She expressed her pride in the Scottish education system: she values the fact that it allows people to be educated according to their ability. One of her concerns is that there are still people who don’t think that it’s ‘for them’; that somehow, they won’t fit in. Her interest continues to be in outreach and widening access to education for all. Professor Dame Anne Glover FRS PRSE At the conclusion of her formal education, Anne became Special Adviser to the Principal, University of Strathclyde Professor of Molecular Biology and Cell Biology at the University of Aberdeen and was subsequently named At the same time, Anne has always been fascinated Vice-Principal for External Affairs and the Dean for Europe. by the huge diversity of microbes in the environment The building blocks of the body and still wonders “what they are all doing”. That interest in the vast number of microbes in the soil led her to Discussion proceeded to Anne’s research – but how to set up a small biotech company, which deals with explain that to a non scientist? The body is made up of environmental issues: the real-life application of millions of cells (building blocks) and essentially Anne’s knowledge. research has centred around how these cells work and, more particularly, how they react to stress, such as chemotherapy or metabolic stress. Favourite book: One Hundred Years of Solitude One area of her research has been in examining how scientists can exploit responses that have evolved by Columbian author, Gabriel García Márquez naturally and use them to protect our bodies from the different kinds of stress to which they can be exposed. Should we stay or should we go? For example, during chemotherapy, how can these When posed with the inevitable question of her views responses be activated so that normal cells are protected on Brexit, Anne was not reluctant to admit that she is from damage while allowing the cancerous cells to be very upset by the prospect of no longer being a European targeted? citizen.

What’s the worst that can happen? In 2006, Anne was the first person At this point, she took recourse to her second ‘mantra’, “What’s the worst that to be appointed to the new position can happen?” and, having checked that part-time hours were not possible, she of Chief Scientific Adviser for Scotland offered her resignation to Aberdeen.

AI technologies already support many everyday products and services, and the power and reach of these technologies are advancing at pace. The Royal Society is working to support an environment of careful stewardship of AI technologies, so that their benefits can be brought into being safely and rapidly, and shared across society. In support of this aim, the Society’s You and AI series brought together leading AI researchers to contribute to a public conversation about advances in AI and their implications for society.

  • Capper 1998 Phd Karl Barth's Theology Of
    Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper Selwyn College Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy University of Cambridge April 1998 Karl Barth’s Theology of Joy John Mark Capper, Selwyn College Cambridge, April 1998 Joy is a recurrent theme in the Church Dogmatics of Karl Barth but it is one which is under-explored. In order to ascertain reasons for this lack, the work of six scholars is explored with regard to the theme of joy, employing the useful though limited “motifs” suggested by Hunsinger. That the revelation of God has a trinitarian framework, as demonstrated by Barth in CD I, and that God as Trinity is joyful, helps to explain Barth’s understanding of theology as a “joyful science”. By close attention to Barth’s treatment of the perfections of God (CD II.1), the link which Barth makes with glory and eternity is explored, noting the far-reaching sweep which joy is allowed by contrast with the related theme of beauty. Divine joy is discerned as the response to glory in the inner life of the Trinity, and as such is the quality of God being truly Godself. Joy is seen to be “more than a perfection” and is basic to God’s self-revelation and human response. A dialogue with Jonathan Edwards challenges Barth’s restricted use of beauty in his theology, and highlights the innovation Barth makes by including election in his doctrine of God. In the context of Barth’s anthropology, paying close attention to his treatment of “being in encounter” (CD III.2), there is an examination of the significance of gladness as the response to divine glory in the life of humanity, and as the crowning of full and free humanness.

  • The Cosmos with Professor Brian
    The Cosmos with Professor Brian Cox Start time: 8pm Approximate running time: 90 minutes, no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Programme Jean Sibelius Symphony No 5, mv III (arr Iain Farrington) Charles Ives The Unanswered Question Gustav Mahler Symphony No 10, mv I (arr Michelle Castelletti) Emotion and angst is at the forefront of tonight’s BBC Symphony Orchestra programme, as Harriet Smith explains. Today’s concert, The Cosmos, is inspired by the idea from prominent physicist and broadcaster Brian Cox that music and science are interdependent ways in which we make sense of the world and universe around us. And he should know, for in his earlier days he was keyboard player in the prominent UK bands Dare and D:Ream. So what links tonight’s composers? On the one hand we have Jean Sibelius and Gustav Mahler – two of the most outstanding symphonists of the Romantic tradition – while on the other the American Charles Ives was to all intents and purposes an amateur, albeit a maverick genius. All three were influenced by what was around them in the wider world. In the case of the Finnish Sibelius, we’re lucky enough to have his diaries, which give a real clue into his mindset. While he was working on his Fifth Symphony, his diary of 21 April 1915, rhapsodises: ‘Today at ten to eleven, I saw sixteen swans. One of my greatest experiences! Lord God, what beauty! They circled over me for a long time. Disappeared into the solar haze like a gleaming, silver ribbon.

  • B50FF03 Introduction to Contextual Theology
    B50FF03 Introduction to Contextual Theology Bachelor of Divinity Degree Pacific Theological College Semester 1A, 2018 Course Lecturer: Dr Richard Davis, [email protected] Course Description This course aims to provide students with an introduction to the study and practice of theology. It will look at what theology is, who does theology, where it is done, and for what purpose. The traditional sources of theological reflection, such as the Bible, traditions, experience and reason will be examined.

Objectives By the end of the course students should be able to: Be aware of and describe the context in which they do theology Define what theology is and understand the role of the theologian Describe several sources for doing theology Appreciate several different models of doing contextual theology See how key doctrines have been interpreted through contextual methods Method of Teaching A combination of lectures, readings, writing and discussion. Assessment Assessment will be as set out below, with one essay, class participation, and an exam.
