Working together, physicists, chemists and materials scientists can create more efficient and sustainable technologies. Chiral molecular materials offer unparalleled opportunity in optoelectronic, spintronic and quantum technologies due to the unique combination of the optical, electronic, and magnetic properties. Technological breakthroughs of this scale are only possible when diverse teams of people work together, which means we need to do more to inspire, educate and celebrate scientists from all backgrounds.

![INSIGHTS Virtual Lectures: The Poetry of Uncertainty by Professor Sinéad Morrissey
Professor Sinéad Morrissey, Professor of Creative Writing, Newcastle University
According to Alexandra Harris, Chair of the Forward Prizes 2020: “In times of distraction [poetry] can carve out a space of concentration. Poems can shake or shock or magnetise our ideas into new configurations”.
In this lecture Professor Morrissey will consider poetry’s urgency during moments of heightened social and cultural crisis, and asking how the form and language of poetry, so often derided for being difficult, obtuse or ambiguous, is part of its necessary and magnetising effect.
The lecture will be followed by a live Q&A with the speaker.
