  • About Imperial College London
    About Imperial College London Overview Imperial College London is one of the world’s greatest universities, renowned for its ground- breaking research, talented community of staff, students and alumni and its international reach. With a mission to achieve enduring excellence in research and education in science, engineering, medicine and business for the benefit of society, the College was founded in 1907 in South Kensington, bringing together nineteenth century institutions including the Royal College of Science, Royal School of Mines and City and Guilds College. Today Imperial collaborates extensively with neighbouring institutions, including the Royal College of Art and the Royal College of Music. From its location in this great cultural quarter, Imperial provides one of the world’s best educations in STEM subjects for more than 18,400 students, over half of whom come from overseas, reflecting its status as the UK’s most international university. Imperial has three academic faculties – Engineering, Medicine, and Natural Sciences – and the Imperial College Business School, as well as a significant number of interdisciplinary research centres focusing on challenging world problems. The College’s mission is supported by over 8,000 diverse staff, who collaborate in the UK and internationally, often across disciplines. In 2017-2018 the College had a total turnover of over £1 billion, of which £364.2 million directly supported research through grants and contracts. The College’s 2015-2020 Strategy is built on the foundations that make Imperial a strong academic institution and the talented and inspirational people who make up its community. The College’s success is recognised all over the world, as is evidenced by daily coverage of Imperial discoveries and innovations in the international media and claims many distinguished members, including 14 Nobel laureates, three Fields Medallists, and members of the Royal Further Particulars: Lecturer / Senior Lecturer in Statistics 1 Society and National Academies.

  • Nasa's Microgravity Research Program
    NASA'S MICROGRAVITY RESEARCH PROGRAM NASA/TM - 2000-210615 NationalAeronauticsand SpaceAdministration GeorgeC.MarshallSpaceFlightCenter MarshallSpaceFlightCenter,Alabama35812 • !;i_:!¸ i • Onthe frontcover... In FY 99, the microgravity biotechnology pro- gram investigated the structure of macromolecules through Earth- and space-grown crystals and con- ducted experiments in tissue engineering and basic cellular functions both in ground laboratories and in orbit. These cells were isolated from cartilage grown on Russian Space Station Mh'. Gray areas (green on cover) indicate the presence of estaserase, a key metabolic enzyme. Discovering how processing affects the structure and properties of materials is the focus of the materi- als science discipline. A microgravity environment allows a simpler view of the relationship of process- ing to structure. Several experiments have been con- ducted and are planned for investigating the formation of dendrites, a common microstructure in metals. This dendrite of pivalic acid was formed during a microgravity shuttle mission. The study of combustion science in microgravity contributes to the basic understanding of the com- bustion process and of how to prevent and control burning on Earth and in space. This photo was taken during an experiment on candle flames that took place on Mir. Fluid physicists participate in the microgravity program to understand the fundamentals of fluid behavior under various conditions. Microgravity experiments investigating liquid drops have con- tributed to our knowledge of microscopic and macroscopic processes, from the way atomic nuclei undergo fission to how planets are formed. This photo was taken during a drop experiment conducted on the space shuttle. Physicists use a microgravity environment to help them discover and understand the laws govern- ing our universe.

  • University Presidents Letter to President Trump
    February 2, 2017 President Donald J. Trump The White House United States of America Dear President Trump: We write as presidents of leading American colleges and universities to urge you to rectify or rescind the recent executive order closing our country’s borders to immigrants and others from seven majority-Muslim countries and to refugees from throughout the world. If left in place, the order threatens both American higher education and the defining principles of our country. The order specifically prevents talented, law-abiding students and scholars from the affected regions from reaching our campuses. American higher education has benefited tremendously from this country’s long history of embracing immigrants from around the world. Their innovations and scholarship have enhanced American learning, added to our prosperity, and enriched our culture. Many who have returned to their own countries have taken with them the values that are the lifeblood of our democracy. America’s educational, scientific, economic, and artistic leadership depends upon our continued ability to attract the extraordinary people who for many generations have come to this country in search of freedom and a better life. This action unfairly targets seven predominantly Muslim countries in a manner inconsistent with America’s best principles and greatest traditions. We welcome outstanding Muslim students and scholars from the United States and abroad, including the many who come from the seven affected countries. Their vibrant contributions to our institutions and our country exemplify the value of the religious diversity that has been a hallmark of American freedom since this country’s founding. The American dream depends on continued fidelity to that value.

CIVIC VIRTUE AND THE LIMITS OF CONSTITUTIONALISM ChristopherL. Eisgruber* I. Scholars have occasionally suggested that if the Supreme Court were to interpret the Constitution differently, American civil society would be richer and American citizens would be more virtuous. Some of these scholars blame judicial review in general, while others complain about the substance of Supreme Court doctrine. The first group includes, among others, Mary Ann Glendon and Michael Sandel, who contend that the Court's concern with individual rights has harmed American political culture. According to Glendon and Sandel, judicial enforcement of individual rights has rendered Americans less deliberative, less concerned with one another's well- being, and less likely to live well.' The second group of scholars includes Stephen Carter, who believes that the Supreme Court's religious liberty jurisprudence has produced a culture that trivializes religion, and Ronald Dworkin and Burt Neuborne, who maintain that * Faculty Fellow, Program in Law and Public Affairs, Princeton University;, Professor of Law, New York University School of Law.
