A chance to experience scienceteaching at its best: big issues

and up-to-the minute responses.

Dr Rob Wallach, Programme Director, Science Summer School


2/25

The quality of scientific research

and science education at Cambridge

is recognised world-wide. Scienceteaching here combines breadth

and flexibility with the opportunity

to study in depth at the frontiers

of knowledge. The Science Summer

School draws on the expertise of a

range of senior academic advisors

across a variety of scientific fields.

The Summer School is aimed at a

broad audience: undergraduates and

graduates in sciences as well as teachers

and other professionals are welcomed.

For those with a strong interest, but

with little formal science training, we

advise that you prepare well, reading

the books and articles suggested by

the Course Directors.

The academic programme

Plenary course P01: Survival

One special subject course per week

A choice of workshops and visits

Evening lectures

Special subject courses

You choose one course for each

week. Each course meets five times,

during the mornings. You may choose

to follow a particular track by

selecting courses in related subject

fields, but an interdisciplinaryapproach is also encouraged.

Plenary lectures

All participants are registered for a

course of plenary lectures entitled

Survival. These talks constitute a

unique opportunity to hear about

current developments from

acknowledged experts and to learn

about the impact of current (and past)

discoveries and research, as well as

the responsibilities faced by scientists

and policy-makers.

Workshops and visits

Workshops and visits to institutes and

laboratories in Cambridge may offer

an insight into cutting edge research,

or a chance to reassess subjects with

which you are already familiar.

Evening lectures

Evening lectures extend the plenary

series, providing introductions to

additional aspects of science at

Cambridge and beyond.

Week1(8 14 July)

P02Fromatomstogalaxies:

theastronomersviewDr Robin Catchpole

First, we meet the stars, galaxies, dark

matter and vacuum energy that make

up our Universe and then discover

how everything was created out of

hydrogen that emerged from the Big

Bang. Finally, we take a closer look at

our Sun and Solar System and consider

if we are alone in the Universe.

P03Theevolutionofmaterials:anoverviewofMaterialsScience

Dr Rob Wallach

A dramatic progress in living standards

over the last century has been enabled

by the evolution of new materials,bringing innovation, change and

efficiency. The course describes the

background to atomic structure,

mechanical and physical properties,

anisotropy and degradation. Examples

of materials evolution show how diverse

materials can be optimised for specific

applications including transportation,

structures, power generation,communication and health care.

P04Themesinthephilosophyofscience

Emily Caddick

This course addresses some central

questions in philosophy of science.

What are laws of nature? In what sense

can they explain the events which

take place in the world? What does

it mean to say that one thing caused

another? Why is past data able to

justify predictions about future data?And is the data really neutral between

different theories?

P05Spectroscopy:mattersoflightandmatter

Dr Peter Wothers

This course explores the interaction

of light with matter and how this maybe used to reveal information from

whats inside our bodies, to whats

inside a distant galaxy. The course

introduces the basic ideas from

Quantum Mechanics but assumes

very little mathematical background

and is not aimed at students currently

specialising in physics.

Science Summer School Term I8 21 July

Special Subject CoursesClasses are held from Monday to Friday. Participants choose one special

subject course per week.

Week2(15 21 July)

P06KeepingupwiththeUniverse

Dr Lisa Jardine-Wright

During this course you will use real

astronomical data and analysis

techniques you are the researchers

and must draw your own conclusions

about our observable, expanding

universe. See dark matter, dark

energy and general relativity

reveal themselves in the data.

P07IsthehumanfetusSelforNon-Self?

Professor Ashley Moffett

The immune system can discriminate

between our own healthy cells and

a wide variety of pathogens and cells

from other individuals. How does it

operate in mothers during pregnancy,where half the fetuss genes are

derived from the father? We explore

the principles of immune recognition

in normal pregnancies and those with

disorders such as pre-eclampsia. The

evolution of immune system genes in

primates and during the emergence

of Homo sapiens will be correlated

with reproductive strategies,bipedalism and the development

of our large brains.

P08Theevolutionofintelligence:whatdoanimalsthinkabout?

Professor Nicola Clayton

We begin this course with an

introduction to the evolution of

intelligence, and then explore four

different aspects of the subject tools

and technology, social smarts, self-

awareness and language all of

which have been thought to make

us unique. We ask whether, and towhat extent, other animals share

these thought processes with us.

P09Earlystagedrugdiscovery

Professor Chris Abell and Dr John Skidmore

It takes over 10 years and $1bn to

develop a new medicine. We explorethe concepts behind the drug

discovery process. We discuss the

properties required of a drug and

show how chemists discover the

starting points for drug development.

We highlight the importance of

protein biochemistry, structural

biology, and synthetic organic

chemistry, using examples fromcurrent research in Cambridge

and the pharmaceutical industry.


5/25

Week3(22 28 July)

P10Introductiontosocialpsychology

Dr John Lawson

Within the realm of psychology,

social psychology is concerned with

how the behaviour and thoughts

of an individual are influenced by

the social context, ie other people

around them. This course explores

a number of differing contexts (small

groups, crowds, authority figures)and examines the evidence that seeks

to explain how this context shapes

what we do and how we think.

P11MaterialsScience,energygenerationandsustainability

Dr Rob Wallach

Sustainable development is essentialif the earth is not to be damaged

irreversibly. Attitudes have to change,

but technology must also provide

solutions. Materials Science has a

pivotal role. We study materials issues

in renewable energy sources (solar

power, geothermal, wind and wave),

nuclear power and conventional power.

We conclude, briefly, with energy

storage and the hydrogen economy.

P12Buildingabrain:theorganisation

anddevelopmentofthenervoussystem

Professor Michael Bate

We have all built a brain and in this

course you will find out how we did

it and how the brain is organised. We

will explore how embryos construct

their nervous systems and we will

look at how our brains have evolved,

because the way the brain is

organised depends on its origins

deep in our evolutionary past.

P13Orderindisorder:mathematicaltheories

Professor Imre Leader

Can we always find some order in a

large enough amount of disorder?

This is the subject-matter of Ramsey

Theory, an attractive and exciting part

of mathematics that can be described

in an entirely equation-free way.

Science Summer School Term II22 July 4 August

Special Subject CoursesClasses are held from Monday to Friday. Participants choose one special

subject course per week.


6/25

Week 4 (29 July 4 August)

P14Climate, energy and survival

Dr Stephen Peake

This course will develop your

scientific eco-literacy. You will grasp

the essential scientific evidence of

climate change, get your hands on

some real climate models, analyse

and debate options for

decarbonisation of our economic

systems, scientifically explore

adaptation for survival, and design

your own eco-innovation through

a lifestyle lab activity.

P15Codes, ciphers and secrets: anintroduction to cryptography

Dr James Grime

This course on the mathematicsof cryptography introduces some

of the most important codes and

ciphers. Topics range from simple

substitution ciphers and the enigma

machine of World War II, to modern

cryptography such as RSA used in

internet encryption.

P16Hunger: is it all in your mind?

Dr Lora Heisler

Recent research reveals that

the hunger-fullness spectrum is

dynamically regulated by the brain.

In this course, we will discuss the

primary players modulating appetite

and how they interact to drive this

rewarding and homeostatic

behaviour. Further, we will discuss

how these systems may be

pharmacologically manipulated

for obesity treatment.

P17Autism: a modern epidemic?

Dr John Lawson

Despite sixty years of research, autism

remains a puzzle: many people remainunclear about what it actually is. Even

a leading researcher in the field has

called it the enigma. This course

provides an introduction to autism

and Asperger syndrome, examining

the diagnostic features that define

the condition, some of the research

currently taking place and, finally, the

interventions and treatments available.


7/25

Wolfson Court is part of Girton College.

In 1869 the educational reformer Emily

Davies set up a female establishment

on the Cambridge collegiate model,

to prepare students for the Cambridge

tripos. In 1924 Girton received its formal

college charter. In the 1960s and 70s

Girton started to admit men, who now

account for over half of its student

numbers. Its Wolfson Court site wasbuilt in 1969. Situated around six inner

courts, it provides a pleasant and relaxed

setting for studying. The college is 1.2km

from the Sidgwick teaching site, 1.9km

from the Mill Lane teaching site and

1.6km from the city centre. All are

accessible on foot. Students could also

opt to take public transport as Wolfson

Court is on a bus route.

Newnham College is one of the most

important and influential college

foundations since the sixteenth century,

contributing greatly to feminist reform

and producing many leading women

writers, scientists and intellectuals.

Founded in 1871, its early mentors were

Henry Sidgwick, the moral philosopher

and promoter of womens education

and Anne Jemima Clough, its first

principal. Newnham received a college

charter in 1917 and in 1948 its women

finally received University degrees.

The original series of buildings were

designed by Basil Champneys andbuilt in the graceful Queen Anne

style with Dutch red-brick gables

and white woodwork, well suited to

its setting around extensive lawns and

flower beds. A number of the student

rooms are in more modern buildings

which blend well with their older

counterparts alongside.

Please note that the en suite roomsavailable are not on the ground floor.

St Catharines College was founded

in 1473 by Robert Woodlark, former

Chancellor of the University. Originally

established for the study of philosophy

and sacred theology, Woodlark also left

elaborate instructions with regard to the

prayers to be said for the benefit of his

soul following his death. The College

was rebuilt in the seventeenth century

with work on the main court beginning

in 1674 and the chapel completed thirty

years later. Today the College is an

intriguing mix of the old and the newand is set in the heart of the ancient city

of Cambridge.

We have been advised that there may

be some building works at the College

during the period of the Summer Schools,

but that any building noise should be

limited to day time, when you will be

in lectures (at least until mid-afternoon).

Founded in 1326 as University Hall

and re-founded in 1338, Clare is the

second oldest Cambridge College.

The College takes its name from

Lady Elizabeth de Clare, a wealthy

granddaughter of Edward I who

endowed the foundation of 1338.

The present main court was built by

local architects, Grumbold and son,

between 1638 and 1715; Grumbold

also built Clares unique bridge, now

the oldest on the Cam. The imposingMemorial Court, where you will be

living, was designed by Gilbert Scott

in the 1920s and helped to accommodate

women undergraduates when Clare

became one of the first colleges

to become co-residential in 1972.

Breakfast and dinner will be a

five-minute walk away in Old Court,

reached by crossing Grumboldsfamous bridge.

Accommodation allocation

When your first choice of college

is full, you will be allocated to your

second or third choice. It is important

that you complete your alternativechoices of accommodation on your

application form as college places are

allocated on a first-come, first-served

basis in order of acceptance and can

fill up very quickly. This helps us to

allocate you a college place, without

the need to contact you, thus

delaying the application process. You

are welcome to express preferences

for particular rooms in colleges on

your application form. These requests

are passed on to the colleges, whose

staff allocate the rooms in the weeks

leading up to the Summer Schools.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure

that you receive the room you have

requested, it is important to note thatrooms are allocated in order of

acceptance and the colleges cannot

guarantee to fulfil every request.

Please note that the specific room

allocations are not finalised until the

week before the start of the Summer

Schools and we ask that you do not

contact us or the colleges to find out

your room allocation in advance of

your arrival in Cambridge.

Accommodation between

consecutive programmes/terms

Those attending two consecutive

programmes or terms and intending

to stay for the night(s) between these

may book accommodation for an

additional charge. Please mark on the

application form if you want to book

your room for the night(s) between

the two programmes. If you do not

indicate this, we shall assume you will

not need this accommodation and you

will be asked to clear your room. If youare away from Cambridge between

your programmes and leave luggage

in your room, you will be charged the

room fee for the night(s) that the

luggage is left.

Special requirements

We make every effort to accommodate

the needs of those with special dietaryor medical requirements. If the college

to which you have been allocated

cannot meet your needs, we shall offer

you accommodation in a different

college. Please indicate whether you

have any special requirements on your

application form and we will contact

you for further information.

Travel insurance

It is essential that all visitors take out

travel insurance before travelling to

Cambridge to cover themselves for

their return journey and the durationof their stay. Insurance should cover

any expenses incurred as a result of

lost or stolen property, late arrival or

early departure, or cancellation due

to unforeseen circumstances.

Cancelled bookings are subject to the

fees set out in the cancellation policy

above. The Summer Schools and theUniversity accept no liability for loss

or damage to student property.

Medical insurance

Your home country may have a

reciprocal arrangement with the

UK so that medical care is free. If it

does not, it is essential that students

take out medical insurance to cover

them during their stay, particularly

if students have known medical needs

that may require attention. Medical

and hospital costs are expensive and

payment is often needed at the time

oftreatment. Students may be charged

45 or more for an appointment.

Prescription charges are additional

to this.
