Professor Roberts describes her work with UK police forces: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-body-in-the-river-the-application-of-environment-science-in-murder

The bodies of murder victims, whole or in pieces, often end up in rivers or canals. Carolyn Roberts’ work as an Expert Witness with UK police forces has applied the principles of hydrology to murder investigations.

In these tragic and gruesome settings, environmental science can help to identify where bodies have come from or gone to. Drawing on macabre and fascinating case studies, the lecture will range from particular cases to general principles of tracing bodies, and the application of science in supporting the law.

Probably not for those of a nervous disposition, but of guaranteed interest to the curious.

The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/a-body-in-the-river-the-application-of-environment-science-in-murder

The Inaugural lecture of the newest Gresham Professorship, this post will focus on Information technology and is held by Martyn Thomas: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/should-we-trust-computers
Computers and software have transformed the world in 67 years and the pace of change is still accelerating. The achievements have been extraordinary: we have the Web, Google and GPS – but we also have viruses, spam and cybercrime. What can we learn from past triumphs and disasters to help us decide about Big Data, driverless cars, artificial intelligence and life in silico?

Might the future be built on sand, metaphorically as well as literally?

This is the 2015 Peter Nailor Memorial Lecture on Defence: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/the-2015-strategic-defence-and-security-review-and-its-implications
Lord Robertson, former UK Defence Secretary and Secretary General of NATO, will discuss the Review and its importance and relevance in securing Britain in an age of uncertainty.
As stated in the Review: ‘Our country has always had global responsibilities and global ambitions. We have a proud history of standing up for the values we believe in and we should have no less ambition for our country in the decades to come. But we need to be more thoughtful, more strategic and more coordinated in the way we advance our interests and protect our national security’.

Professor Flood reviews the year that made Einstein famous as he published some of his greatest work: gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/einsteins-annus-mirabilis-1905
In 1905, his ‘year of wonders’, Einstein published four papers of ground-breaking importance. First he published the work that introduced quanta of energy – a core idea of quantum theory. Next was a paper on Brownian motion explaining the movement of small particles suspended in a liquid. His third paper introduced the special theory of relativity linking time, distance, mass and energy while his fourth paper contains one of the most famous equations of all, E=mc².
