SUMMARY:Reading 2050 - The Urban Metabolism of Reading
DESCRIPTION:Please join Dr Eugene Mohareb and Dr Daniela Perrotti from the School of the Built Environment\, for a lecture: ‘The Urban Metabolism of Reading’ \nThe lecture is part of the ‘People and Lifestyle’ theme of the Reading 2050 lecture series\, which provide a platform to discuss how Reading should evolve into a smarter and more sustainable city by 2050 (www.reading2050.co.uk ) \nAdmission to the lecture is free. \nThe SBE\, Barton Wilmore and Reading UK\, established the Reading 2050 group in 2013. The Reading 2050 lecture series is structured around three themes\, which underpin the Reading 2050 vision: \n*Place and Environment\n*People and Lifestyle\n*Economy and Employment \nIn 2017\, the School brought together expert speakers to discuss Reading’s heritage and history\, the future of its transport and energy and the impact of climate change and floods. A discussion on Reading’s Art and Culture was facilitated earlier this year\, and there are other Reading 2050 events planned for 2018 and 2019. \nhttps://livingreading.co.uk/publications-events

SUMMARY:Fairbrother Lecture 2018: Would you let your phone tell you what to eat? Designing technology for personalised nutrition advice
DESCRIPTION:Would you let your phone tell you what to eat? Designing technology for personalised nutrition advice \nThe Graduate School is delighted to announce that the Fairbrother Lecture 2018 will be delivered by current doctoral researcher Rodrigo Zenun Franco who is undertaking a PhD in Computer Science. \nRodrigo will be talking about his research on online personalised nutrition advice. He has developed an app to assess dietary intake and propose valid personalised nutrition advice for adults. This web application has been designed to be simple to use and can be accessed on a range of devices including laptops\, tablets\, and smartphones. Rodrigo hopes that the app will help make personalised nutrition widely available\, thereby enabling more people to benefit from tailored diet advice. \nThe work is supported by the British Nutrition Foundation and the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq). \nRodrigo undertook an undergraduate degree in Brazil\, before coming to Reading for his MSc. His PhD is supervised by Dr Faustina Hwang (Biomedical Engineering\, School of Biological Sciences) and Professor Julie Lovegrove (Hugh Sinclair Unit of Human Nutrition\, School of Chemistry\, Food & Pharmacy). \nAccompanying the lecture\, there will be a display of work by a number of other outstanding doctoral researchers from across the University: Vincent DeLuca (Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences); Anna Freeman (Geography & Environmental Science) Rita Goyal (Henley Business School); Sophie Payne (Literature and Languages) and Suzannah Ravenscroft (Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences).

SUMMARY:PUBLIC LECTURE - The Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators
DESCRIPTION:Honey Bee pollinating sunflower.\nThe Bee’s Needs: How to Save the World’s Pollinators \nWednesday 14 March\, 19:30-20:45 \nLocation: G11\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights campus \nThis event is free to attend.  \nRegistration in advance is not required\, but is recommended as public lectures are often full. Click here to book your place > \nBees and other insects are crucially important\, helping pollinate crops and support our wild ecosystems. The University of Reading is at the forefront of research into the decline of insect pollinators and understanding how valuable they are for crop production. \nThe lecture will outline current evidence on the status of pollinating insects in the UK and across the globe. The crucial role pollinators play for crop production will be explored as well as ways we can help protect these iconic species for the important role they have providing vital ecosystem services. \nDr Mike Garratt\, a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Agriculture Policy and Development\, will present the latest research on pollinators and what we can do to help protect them.

SUMMARY:PUBLIC LECTURE - Brain glue: sticking it to dementia
DESCRIPTION:Brain Glue: Sticking it to Dementia \nWednesday 28 February\, 7.30-8.45pm \nG11\, Henley Business School\, Whiteknights campus \nThis event is free to attend. \nRegistration in advance is not required\, but is recommended as public lectures are often full. Click here to book your place > \nNearly a million people in the UK today are living with dementia. Currently there is no treatment that will prevent\, cure or slow down its progression. To overcome this scientists are now studying not only nerve cells in the brain\, but the so-called glial cells – previously thought to be just the ‘glue’ that sticks other brain cells together. Evidence suggests that these cells could provide insight and even early warning about the onset of disease\, years before clinical symptoms develop. \nThe human brain is the most complex computer we have\, yet we are still discovering the basics of how it works. This lecture will outline some of the challenges in finding treatments for brain diseases\, and explore the potential of glial cells in the fight against Alzheimer’s disease. \nDr Mark Dallas is a Lecturer in Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience at the School of Pharmacy\, University of Reading. He is the Academic Co-Ordinator for the Alzheimer’s Research UK Oxford Network\, Neuroscience Theme Lead for the Physiological Society and sits on the editorial board of Physiology News.

SUMMARY:Annual Cole Lecture: The Egg and Sperm Race
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome gyuest speaker Professor Matthew Cobb\, Professor of Zoology at University of Manchester to deliver this year’s Cole Lecture \nWhere do we come from? For thousands of years we really had no clue. In the mid-seventeenth century\, human eggs and sperm were discovered but their role wasn’t understood for another 180 years. Professor Matthew Cobb will describe how these amazing discoveries were made\, and how rivalry spilled over into enmity.
