Following a University-wide communications survey in January 2025, the Internal Communications team is inviting staff to take part in follow-up discussion groups or share their views through a short, anonymous questionnaire during July. The aim is to gather more nuanced feedback that will help shape how the University communicates with staff in the future.

From Theorems to Serums, From Cryptography to Cosmology … and The Simpsons - Simon Singh
Join science writer Simon Singh on a whistle-stop tour through two decades of his bestselling books. 'Fermat’s Last Theorem' looks at one of the biggest mathematical puzzles of the millennium; 'The Code Book' shares the secrets of cryptology; 'Big Bang' explores the history of cosmology; 'Trick or Treatment' asks some hard questions about alternative medicine; and 'The Simpsons and Their Mathematical Secrets' explains how TV writers, throughout the show’s 35-year history, have smuggled in mathematical jokes.
