The Michaelmas Court and Lunch is the second of the Company lunches open to Members and guests. Continuing the science theme, the guest speaker was Susan Jobling, Director of the Institute for the Environment, Health and Societies and Brunel University and Professor in Ecotoxicology. Over a number of years we have worked with colleagues from Brunel; they hosted a seminar presented by Prof. Martin Cave in 2010 and they have made several Trust Bursary Awards over the years. Susan talked about things you find in the environment which cause harm, and difficulties in updating regulations. The speech was well received and discussions continued later in a local hostelry. My thanks to Susan, who is very busy, but recognises the difference the Company can make to the progress of research (a fuller account appears on the Company website).
