SUMMARY:Russia and the First World War: A Fatal Mistake?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday 1 November\, at 19:00\, the Department of Modern Languages and European Studies will be holding its 6th annual public lecture to mark Armistice Day and the Centenary of the First World War.  \nThe title of the lecture is: RUSSIA AND THE FIRST WORLD WAR: A FATAL MISTAKE?  \nThis year’s distinguished speaker is Professor Dominic Lieven\, Senior Research Fellow\, Trinity College\, Cambridge and Fellow of the British Academy. Professor Lieven is a eminent Historian of Russia with award-winning books. In this public lecture\, Professor Lieven will tell us the fascinating\, dramatic and hugely important story of Russia’s descent into the First World War and its fatal impact on generations of Russians in the long twentieth century. Professor Lieven’s close study of diaries\, letters\, books and official documents give a very different interpretation of the First World War\, from an Eastern perspective\, and shows the underestimated role of Russia’s leaders in the Great War. \nThe lecture room\, in Edith Morley G27\, is now completely booked\, but there is a waiting list\, in case of cancellations. Please\, contact e.best@reading.ac.uk to book on the waiting list.  \nThe series is intended to enhance the bonds between the University and the local community\, and to highlight the First World War as a focal point of research in the Department of Modern Languages and European Studies.  \nThis research is led by Drs Marjorie Gehrhardt and Athena S. Leoussi.

SUMMARY:'Little Wins: The Huge Power of Thinking Like a Toddler'
DESCRIPTION:University of Reading honorary graduate Paul Lindley is an award winning British entrepreneur\, social campaigner and best-selling author. In 2006 he founded Ella’s Kitchen\, an innovative brand of organic baby food built on the mission to improve children’s lives through developing healthy relationships with food. It is now the UK’s largest baby food brand and has sales of over $100M from across 40 countries. In 2017\, Paul published his first book\, the critically acclaimed bestseller ‘Little Wins: The Huge Power of Thinking Like a Toddler.’ \nIn this lecture\, Paul will discuss how he believes unlocking our personal potential is not achieved by learning new skills\, but by re-discovering old ones – those we all had when we were toddlers. Paul argues that in ‘growing down’ we can be more imaginative\, free thinking\, playful and self-confident\, allowing us to look at our personal\, corporate and social challenges in a different\, more impactful way. \nRegister for this event here.

SUMMARY:Our Changing Climate: Past\, Present and Future
DESCRIPTION:Part of the University of Reading’s Public Lecture Series  \nADMISSION FREE – BOOKING ADVISABLE \n\n\n\n\n\nThe hot and dry summer of 2018 was a reminder of just how vulnerable society can be to unusual weather through overheating buildings\, transport disruption\, lower crop production and risks to human health. Such heatwaves are now hotter because the planet has warmed over the past century\, largely due to human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases. Other consequences of a warming world are that extreme rainfall events have become more frequent and sea levels have risen as the oceans expand and the glaciers melt. \nThis lecture will outline how our climate has already changed\, and what we might expect in the future. Further changes are inevitable. The Paris Agreement aims to stabilise global temperatures but society’s choices will decide how much change we should expect. \nProfessor Ed Hawkins is a climate scientist in the National Centre for Atmospheric Science\, based in the Department of Meteorology at the University of Reading. He is a Lead Author for the forthcoming Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report and was awarded the Royal Society’s Kavli Medal in 2018. \nRegister to attend here.

SUMMARY:Symposium: Brain-machine interfaces for rehabilitation
DESCRIPTION:From Lab to Clinic – Pathways to translational brain-machine interfaces for rehabilitation\nThe University of Reading will host a focused one-day symposium in September 2018\, aiming to bring together researchers in brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) and clinical experts in rehabilitation to discuss the pathway and the challenges for widespread clinical adoption of BMIs. This event will help early career researchers identify how to bring their BMI research into clinical application. The symposium will include users of BMI technology as well as representatives from funding bodies to provide an all-inclusive and informative discussion on adapting and translating existing research outputs. \nAccepted abstracts will be presented in poster format and some early career researchers will be selected to give an oral presentation. Click here to visit the abstract submission page for more details. \nCandidates who present a poster will be requested to take part in a lightning round\, where they will received 1 minute to present their work to the symposium attendees. \nThe event includes a panel discussion by funding body representatives (MRC)\, and researchers in BMI\, to discuss questions regarding how to fund and conduct research in clinical environments – especially from an early career point of view. Questions to the panel can be submitted in advance with registration or during the day. Lunch and coffee/tea throughout the day will be provided\, and there will be a networking wine and canapé reception at the end of the day. \nPlease consider submitting your work or coming along on the day. \nClick here to submit your abstract.  \nThis event is wheelchair accessible. \nPlease contact ioannis.zoulias@reading.ac.uk if you have any enquiries. \nAbout the symposium\nOrganised by Ioannis Zoulias and Orla Fannon of the University of Reading\, UK\, this symposium aims to address the key challenges in the design and adoption of BMIs in the clinic\, and highlight the pathways to success for researchers working with BMIs for rehabilitation. The meeting will explore the viewpoints of the operators (i.e clinicians) and the end users (i.e patients) of BMI technologies\, focusing on the key considerations for designing BMIs that are adaptable to the variation in physiologies across disabilities\, and suitable for the specific needs of end-users. \nThe symposium will bring together patients\, researchers in cutting-edge BMI technology\, clinicians in rehabilitation\, and experts on the physiology of motor disabilities. The primary goal is to identify the pathways for early career researchers to translate their BMI research into a clinical solution. The secondary goal is to foster new collaborations between clinicians and researchers who are in the early stages of BMI development. The aim is to facilitate the formation of long-lasting collaborations\, and subsequently to create an increase in widespread use of clinical BMIs for rehabilitation. \nThe symposium will host talks by established BMI researchers\, and clinicians\, who will discuss the most promising BMIs for motor rehabilitation\, and share their experiences in designing BMIs and transferring them to a clinical setting. A panel discussion between the audience\, invited speakers\, clinicians\, representatives from funding bodies\, patients\, and academic researchers\, will explore the challenges and opportunities for transferring BMIs to the clinic. The symposium is an excellent event to network with BMI experts\, clinicians and other early careers researchers in BMI\, and to receive valuable input on the translational potential\, limitations\, and advantages of your research within a clinical perspective. \nConfirmed Speakers\n\nMiguel Nicolelis\, Duke School of Medicine Professor in Neuroscience\, Duke University\, North Carolina\, USA\nDario Farina\, Chair in Neurorehabilitation Engineering\, Imperial College London\, UK\nClaire Guy\, Principal Physiotherapist in Spinal Injuries\, Rookwood Hospital\, UK\nIan Daly\, Lecturer of Computer Science\, University of Essex\, UK\n\nConfirmed Panellists\n\nRobin Gibbons\, Senior Research Associate\, Aspire CREATe Group\, University College London\, UK\nMedical Research Council\, UK\n\n

SUMMARY:Whitechapel Girl - Special Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Rediscovering the “Whitechapel Girl” \nThey are remembered as the “Whitechapel Boys\,” a group of writers and artists who came from the Jewish working-class district of London and forged promising careers through the early part of the twentieth century.  Isaac Rosenberg wrote some of the finest poetry to emerge from the First World War.  Mark Gertler and David Bomberg became significant modernist painters. \nWhat tends to get lost is that one of the “Boys” was a “Girl.”  Clare Winsten\, born Clara Birnberg\, studied at the Slade from 1910 to 1912\, and developed a fascinating body of work as a painter and sculptor.  She became good friends with George Bernard Shaw\, and illustrated three of his books. \nClara Birnberg became Clare Winsten when she married the writer\, Stephen Winsten.  He was imprisoned as a conscientious objector during the First World War\, as she gave birth to the first of the couple’s two daughters.  Stephen’s imprisonment led to Clare’s producing a series of haunting illustrations to Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol.   \nAs part of the exhibition\, “Colours More Than Sentences: Illustrated Editions of The Ballad of Reading Gaol\,” running at the Berkshire Record Office until 8th June\, the University of Reading Department of English has invited scholar and curator\, Sarah Macdougall of the Ben Uri Gallery\, to share her new research on Winsten’s life and career.  Macdougall will be talking about her rediscovery of the “Whitechapel Girl” at a public lecture at the Berkshire Record Office in Reading at 6-15 p.m. on Thursday 19th April. \nThe lecture and the exhibition are both free\, but places for the lecture are limited.  People can register in advance for the lecture by going to www.berkshirerecordoffice.org.uk/ContactUs.
