A chance to experience scienceteaching at its best: big issues
and up-to-the minute responses.
Dr Rob Wallach, Programme Director, Science Summer School
8/3/2019 Summer School Cambridge Uni
2/25
The quality of scientific research
and science education at Cambridge
is recognised world-wide. Scienceteaching here combines breadth
and flexibility with the opportunity
to study in depth at the frontiers
of knowledge. The Science Summer
School draws on the expertise of a
range of senior academic advisors
across a variety of scientific fields.
The Summer School is aimed at a
broad audience: undergraduates and
graduates in sciences as well as teachers
and other professionals are welcomed.
For those with a strong interest, but
with little formal science training, we
advise that you prepare well, reading
the books and articles suggested by
the Course Directors.
The academic programme
Plenary course P01: Survival
One special subject course per week
A choice of workshops and visits
Evening lectures
Special subject courses
You choose one course for each
week. Each course meets five times,
during the mornings. You may choose
to follow a particular track by
selecting courses in related subject
fields, but an interdisciplinaryapproach is also encouraged.
Plenary lectures
All participants are registered for a
course of plenary lectures entitled
Survival. These talks constitute a
unique opportunity to hear about
current developments from
acknowledged experts and to learn
about the impact of current (and past)
discoveries and research, as well as
the responsibilities faced by scientists
and policy-makers.
Workshops and visits
Workshops and visits to institutes and
laboratories in Cambridge may offer
an insight into cutting edge research,
or a chance to reassess subjects with
which you are already familiar.
Evening lectures
Evening lectures extend the plenary
series, providing introductions to
additional aspects of science at
Cambridge and beyond.

Week1(8 14 July)
P02Fromatomstogalaxies:
theastronomersviewDr Robin Catchpole
First, we meet the stars, galaxies, dark
matter and vacuum energy that make
up our Universe and then discover
how everything was created out of
hydrogen that emerged from the Big
Bang. Finally, we take a closer look at
our Sun and Solar System and consider
if we are alone in the Universe.
P03Theevolutionofmaterials:anoverviewofMaterialsScience
Dr Rob Wallach
A dramatic progress in living standards
over the last century has been enabled
by the evolution of new materials,bringing innovation, change and
efficiency. The course describes the
background to atomic structure,
mechanical and physical properties,
anisotropy and degradation. Examples
of materials evolution show how diverse
materials can be optimised for specific
applications including transportation,
structures, power generation,communication and health care.
P04Themesinthephilosophyofscience
Emily Caddick
This course addresses some central
questions in philosophy of science.
What are laws of nature? In what sense
can they explain the events which
take place in the world? What does
it mean to say that one thing caused
another? Why is past data able to
justify predictions about future data?And is the data really neutral between
different theories?
P05Spectroscopy:mattersoflightandmatter
Dr Peter Wothers
This course explores the interaction
of light with matter and how this maybe used to reveal information from
whats inside our bodies, to whats
inside a distant galaxy. The course
introduces the basic ideas from
Quantum Mechanics but assumes
very little mathematical background
and is not aimed at students currently
specialising in physics.

P06KeepingupwiththeUniverse
Dr Lisa Jardine-Wright
During this course you will use real
astronomical data and analysis
techniques you are the researchers
and must draw your own conclusions
about our observable, expanding
universe. See dark matter, dark
energy and general relativity
reveal themselves in the data.
P07IsthehumanfetusSelforNon-Self?
Professor Ashley Moffett
The immune system can discriminate
between our own healthy cells and
a wide variety of pathogens and cells
from other individuals. How does it
operate in mothers during pregnancy,where half the fetuss genes are
derived from the father? We explore
the principles of immune recognition
in normal pregnancies and those with
disorders such as pre-eclampsia. The
evolution of immune system genes in
primates and during the emergence
of Homo sapiens will be correlated
with reproductive strategies,bipedalism and the development
of our large brains.
P08Theevolutionofintelligence:whatdoanimalsthinkabout?
Professor Nicola Clayton
We begin this course with an
introduction to the evolution of
intelligence, and then explore four
different aspects of the subject tools
and technology, social smarts, self-
awareness and language all of
which have been thought to make
us unique. We ask whether, and towhat extent, other animals share
these thought processes with us.
P09Earlystagedrugdiscovery
Professor Chris Abell and Dr John Skidmore
It takes over 10 years and $1bn to
develop a new medicine. We explorethe concepts behind the drug
discovery process. We discuss the
properties required of a drug and
show how chemists discover the
starting points for drug development.
We highlight the importance of
protein biochemistry, structural
biology, and synthetic organic
chemistry, using examples fromcurrent research in Cambridge
and the pharmaceutical industry.

Week3(22 28 July)
P10Introductiontosocialpsychology
Dr John Lawson
Within the realm of psychology,
social psychology is concerned with
how the behaviour and thoughts
of an individual are influenced by
the social context, ie other people
around them. This course explores
a number of differing contexts (small
groups, crowds, authority figures)and examines the evidence that seeks
to explain how this context shapes
what we do and how we think.
P11MaterialsScience,energygenerationandsustainability
Dr Rob Wallach
Sustainable development is essentialif the earth is not to be damaged
irreversibly. Attitudes have to change,
but technology must also provide
solutions. Materials Science has a
pivotal role. We study materials issues
in renewable energy sources (solar
power, geothermal, wind and wave),
nuclear power and conventional power.
We conclude, briefly, with energy
storage and the hydrogen economy.
P12Buildingabrain:theorganisation
anddevelopmentofthenervoussystem
Professor Michael Bate
We have all built a brain and in this
course you will find out how we did
it and how the brain is organised. We
will explore how embryos construct
their nervous systems and we will
look at how our brains have evolved,
because the way the brain is
organised depends on its origins
deep in our evolutionary past.
P13Orderindisorder:mathematicaltheories
Professor Imre Leader
Can we always find some order in a
large enough amount of disorder?
This is the subject-matter of Ramsey
Theory, an attractive and exciting part
of mathematics that can be described
in an entirely equation-free way.

Week 4 (29 July 4 August)
P14Climate, energy and survival
Dr Stephen Peake
This course will develop your
scientific eco-literacy. You will grasp
the essential scientific evidence of
climate change, get your hands on
some real climate models, analyse
and debate options for
decarbonisation of our economic
systems, scientifically explore
adaptation for survival, and design
your own eco-innovation through
a lifestyle lab activity.
P15Codes, ciphers and secrets: anintroduction to cryptography
Dr James Grime
This course on the mathematicsof cryptography introduces some
of the most important codes and
ciphers. Topics range from simple
substitution ciphers and the enigma
machine of World War II, to modern
cryptography such as RSA used in
internet encryption.
P16Hunger: is it all in your mind?
Dr Lora Heisler
Recent research reveals that
the hunger-fullness spectrum is
dynamically regulated by the brain.
In this course, we will discuss the
primary players modulating appetite
and how they interact to drive this
rewarding and homeostatic
behaviour. Further, we will discuss
how these systems may be
pharmacologically manipulated
for obesity treatment.
P17Autism: a modern epidemic?
Dr John Lawson
Despite sixty years of research, autism
remains a puzzle: many people remainunclear about what it actually is. Even
a leading researcher in the field has
called it the enigma. This course
provides an introduction to autism
and Asperger syndrome, examining
the diagnostic features that define
the condition, some of the research
currently taking place and, finally, the
interventions and treatments available.

Wolfson Court is part of Girton College.
In 1869 the educational reformer Emily
Davies set up a female establishment
on the Cambridge collegiate model,
to prepare students for the Cambridge
tripos. In 1924 Girton received its formal
college charter. In the 1960s and 70s
Girton started to admit men, who now
account for over half of its student
numbers. Its Wolfson Court site wasbuilt in 1969. Situated around six inner
courts, it provides a pleasant and relaxed
setting for studying. The college is 1.2km
from the Sidgwick teaching site, 1.9km
from the Mill Lane teaching site and
1.6km from the city centre. All are
accessible on foot. Students could also
opt to take public transport as Wolfson
Court is on a bus route.

Newnham College is one of the most
important and influential college
foundations since the sixteenth century,
contributing greatly to feminist reform
and producing many leading women
writers, scientists and intellectuals.
Founded in 1871, its early mentors were
Henry Sidgwick, the moral philosopher
and promoter of womens education
and Anne Jemima Clough, its first
principal. Newnham received a college
charter in 1917 and in 1948 its women
finally received University degrees.
The original series of buildings were
designed by Basil Champneys andbuilt in the graceful Queen Anne
style with Dutch red-brick gables
and white woodwork, well suited to
its setting around extensive lawns and
flower beds. A number of the student
rooms are in more modern buildings
which blend well with their older
counterparts alongside.
Please note that the en suite roomsavailable are not on the ground floor.

St Catharines College was founded
in 1473 by Robert Woodlark, former
Chancellor of the University. Originally
established for the study of philosophy
and sacred theology, Woodlark also left
elaborate instructions with regard to the
prayers to be said for the benefit of his
soul following his death. The College
was rebuilt in the seventeenth century
with work on the main court beginning
in 1674 and the chapel completed thirty
years later. Today the College is an
intriguing mix of the old and the newand is set in the heart of the ancient city
of Cambridge.
We have been advised that there may
be some building works at the College
during the period of the Summer Schools,
but that any building noise should be
limited to day time, when you will be
in lectures (at least until mid-afternoon).

Founded in 1326 as University Hall
and re-founded in 1338, Clare is the
second oldest Cambridge College.
The College takes its name from
Lady Elizabeth de Clare, a wealthy
granddaughter of Edward I who
endowed the foundation of 1338.
The present main court was built by
local architects, Grumbold and son,
between 1638 and 1715; Grumbold
also built Clares unique bridge, now
the oldest on the Cam. The imposingMemorial Court, where you will be
living, was designed by Gilbert Scott
in the 1920s and helped to accommodate
women undergraduates when Clare
became one of the first colleges
to become co-residential in 1972.
Breakfast and dinner will be a
five-minute walk away in Old Court,
reached by crossing Grumboldsfamous bridge.

course of study in Cambridge.
Language requirements for
Interdisciplinary and Specialist
Programmes
All teaching for the Summer Schools
is in English. Applicants must satisfy
themselves and the organisers of the
Summer Schools that their English is
of a standard high enough for them
to be able to understand and follow
arguments presented in written and
spoken English at university level. Werequire all applicants (except those
opting to do EAP or IELTS, please see
below) whose first language is not
English to have one of the following
test results:
IELTS (International English Language
Testing System) is the Universitys
preferred test. Details can be obtainedfrom local British Council offices. The
minimum requirement is an overall
band score of 6.5 with not less than
6.5 in each element.
In the TOEFL internet-based Test (iBT),

Programmes and courses
We reserve the right to alter details of
any course should illness or emergency
prevent a Course Director from
teaching. In such circumstances,we would endeavour to provide a
substitute of equal standing. Should
a course have to be cancelled due to
very low enrolment, any participant
enrolled on that course would be
contacted immediately, and an
alternative course place arranged.
EvaluationAn evaluation fee of 40 is charged for
the assessment of written work in one
special subject course. The charge for
evaluation in two courses is 80 and,
where applicable, for three courses
120 and for four courses 160. Please
note that once an application has been
accepted, fees cannot be refunded if a
student decides to drop an evaluation.
Appeals
Appeals procedures are in place for
participants on the Universitys Summer
Schools who undertake written work
for evaluation. Details of these will be
available in the student handbook for
accepted students.
Programme/term change
Administrative costs are incurred in
changing programmes/terms. Any

Accommodation allocation
When your first choice of college
is full, you will be allocated to your
second or third choice. It is important
that you complete your alternativechoices of accommodation on your
application form as college places are
allocated on a first-come, first-served
basis in order of acceptance and can
fill up very quickly. This helps us to
allocate you a college place, without
the need to contact you, thus
delaying the application process. You
are welcome to express preferences
for particular rooms in colleges on
your application form. These requests
are passed on to the colleges, whose
staff allocate the rooms in the weeks
leading up to the Summer Schools.
Whilst every effort is made to ensure
that you receive the room you have
requested, it is important to note thatrooms are allocated in order of
acceptance and the colleges cannot
guarantee to fulfil every request.
Please note that the specific room
allocations are not finalised until the
week before the start of the Summer
Schools and we ask that you do not
contact us or the colleges to find out
your room allocation in advance of
your arrival in Cambridge.
Accommodation between
consecutive programmes/terms
Those attending two consecutive
programmes or terms and intending
to stay for the night(s) between these
may book accommodation for an
additional charge. Please mark on the
application form if you want to book
your room for the night(s) between
the two programmes. If you do not
indicate this, we shall assume you will
not need this accommodation and you
will be asked to clear your room. If youare away from Cambridge between
your programmes and leave luggage
in your room, you will be charged the
room fee for the night(s) that the
luggage is left.
Special requirements
We make every effort to accommodate
the needs of those with special dietaryor medical requirements. If the college
to which you have been allocated
cannot meet your needs, we shall offer
you accommodation in a different
college. Please indicate whether you
have any special requirements on your
application form and we will contact
you for further information.

Cambridge to cover themselves for
their return journey and the durationof their stay. Insurance should cover
any expenses incurred as a result of
lost or stolen property, late arrival or
early departure, or cancellation due
to unforeseen circumstances.
Cancelled bookings are subject to the
fees set out in the cancellation policy
above. The Summer Schools and theUniversity accept no liability for loss
or damage to student property.
Medical insurance
Your home country may have a
reciprocal arrangement with the
UK so that medical care is free. If it
does not, it is essential that students
take out medical insurance to cover
them during their stay, particularly
if students have known medical needs
that may require attention. Medical
and hospital costs are expensive and
payment is often needed at the time
oftreatment. Students may be charged
45 or more for an appointment.
Prescription charges are additional
to this.
