  • Mothers in Science
    The aim of this book is to illustrate, graphically, that it is perfectly possible to combine a successful and fulfilling career in research science with motherhood, and that there are no rules about how to do this. On each page you will find a timeline showing on one side, the career path of a research group leader in academic science, and on the other side, important events in her family life. Each contributor has also provided a brief text about their research and about how they have combined their career and family commitments. This project was funded by a Rosalind Franklin Award from the Royal Society 1 Foreword It is well known that women are under-represented in careers in These rules are part of a much wider mythology among scientists of science. In academia, considerable attention has been focused on the both genders at the PhD and post-doctoral stages in their careers. paucity of women at lecturer level, and the even more lamentable The myths bubble up from the combination of two aspects of the state of affairs at more senior levels. The academic career path has academic science environment. First, a quick look at the numbers a long apprenticeship. Typically there is an undergraduate degree, immediately shows that there are far fewer lectureship positions followed by a PhD, then some post-doctoral research contracts and than qualified candidates to fill them. Second, the mentors of early research fellowships, and then finally a more stable lectureship or career researchers are academic scientists who have successfully permanent research leader position, with promotion on up the made the transition to lectureships and beyond.

  • Oxford Heritage Walks Book 1
    Oxford Heritage Walks Book 1 Oxford Castle to St Giles’ by Malcolm Graham (illustrated by Edith Gollnast, cartography by Alun Jones) Chapter 1 – Oxford Castle to St Michael’s Street The walk begins within Oxford Castle, at the entrance to Oxford Castle Unlocked, where you can visit historic sites and buildings which were largely hidden from view until Oxford Prison closed in 1996. Oxford Preservation Trust created this heritage interpretation centre (2004-6, Panter Hudspeth and Richard Griffiths) as part of the successful restoration and redevelopment of Oxford Castle by Trevor Osborne Property Group and Oxfordshire County Council.1 Standing here, you can travel back through a thousand years of history and there is a time-line on the ground to help you. The motte or mound behind you was part of the motte and bailey castle built by Robert d’Oilly in 1071 just five years after the Norman Conquest. A ten-sided stone keep had replaced a wooden one by the 13th century and, although the ruined tower was demolished in 1650, its foundations still lie beneath the grass on the top of the mound.2 A visit to the mound offers excellent views over Oxford – imagine how much more you would have seen from the tall keep – and you can also go down into the castle’s 13th century vaulted well-chamber. St George’s Tower, massively built of rubble stone, is a remarkable defensive structure, rising in four slightly receding stages with a later diagonally set staircase in one corner. It is traditionally dated to the founding or re-founding of the Church of St George’s in the Castle in 1074, but it sits uncomfortably close to the mound and is now thought to have been built in c.1020 as a watchtower strengthening the town’s western approaches.3 The tower of St Michael at the Northgate Church, which we shall see later in the walk, had the same role in the northern defences.
