24 Hour Inspire
A fun, fast, fundraising lecture marathon from 5pm Thursday 30th March to 5pm the following day (in LT01, Hicks Building). Now in its fifth year, this annual event is a celebration of knowledge and learning in memory of two remarkable lecturers and researchers, Dr Tim Richardson and Dr Victoria Henshaw, both of whom our University community sadly lost to cancer. Hosted by the charity Inspiration for Life, all funds from the event will support the Teenage Cancer Trust and Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity.
There was a fantastic line-up of speakers from across our University. Highlights from Florey and Imagine included:
9pm: Dr Paul Collini - Tuberculosis in the 21st century: the return of consumption?
11pm: Dr Bob Turner and Dr Nic Mullin – Life under the microscope
3.30am: Laia Pasquina Lemonche - The invisible but crucial role of physicists in radiotherapy for cancer

Launch symposium for SHAMROK, the Sheffield AMR Network grant
The launch symposium for the Sheffield antimicrobial resistance network (SHAMROK) grant, funded by the EPSRC, was held at The Ridge, University of Sheffield on 20-21 Junauary 2016.
The symposium set the scene for the challenge from the both the clinical and scientific perspectives. The network wishes to embrace engineering and physical sciences expertise to tackle AMR, by starting new collaborations and fostering new applications of methods and technologies. The symposium included presentations from a wide range of experts in AMR, including internationally leading scientists, healthcare professionals and industrial scientists working in R&D relevant to AMR. It highlighted some of the existing activities within Sheffield, and provided plenty of opportunities to network and make new connections.
