Celebrating 150 years of Science, Agriculture and Engineering at Newcastle University
00:00 Introduction
04:49 What is your name, where are you from and which degree are you studying?
07:59 Pause and discuss: Think about subjects you might be interested in and why
08:45 Which aspect of your degree has interested you the most, so far?
13:05 Pause and discuss: Discuss how the subject you thought about is relevant to other people
13:56 Why do you think your subject area is important for the future?
19:21 Conclusion
A huge amount has changed in the past 150 years. One thing has stayed the same - our commitment to making a difference. Join us as we celebrate our history and look forward to the future.
The 2022 John H Holmes Memorial Lectures will focus on the University’s staff and students, who will present their visions for the future in their own fields of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths).
Where are the yet unexplored depths in marine science, the heights civil engineers are reaching for, and the expanding horizons of the universe our theoretical physicists are grappling with? This years’ Holmes Lectures aim to (virtually) open our doors to your students, and give them a series of insights into why we do what we do.
