Challenges
We’re running two great challenges over Giving Day! Keep up to date with how both challenges are going over on our Giving Day live blog.
Row-a-thon
A team of students, staff, fellows and alumni will row continuously for 36 hours, attempting to cover 250 kilometres. The more kilometres rowed the more money raised for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our incredible team of rowers have smashed their 250km target and have now passed 278km!
Step-a-thon
The staff of Green Templeton college are aiming to complete 2,021,000 steps between Wednesday 19 May and Wednesday 2 June at 19:00 to raise funds for Giving Day.
Giving Day update: Our final step count is 4,184,918!

The college is delighted to share the completion of the south landscaping at the Radcliffe Observatory 🌿
This new shared landscape sits at the heart of the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, made possible by the Stephen A. Schwarzman Foundation.
Work continues on Phase 1 of the Radcliffe Observatory project, including a new main entrance via the East Wing and improved accessibility with step-free access to all entrances.

Julietta will row for the women’s crew in seat #4, Louis takes the seat as Cox, and Julian joins the men’s crew as the #2 seat.
Wishing them and the Dark Blues the very best of luck 💙
🦖🦴 Major archaeological discovery at the Radcliffe Observatory 🦖🦴
What began as routine landscaping work on the front lawn has taken a rather unexpected turn…
Earlier this week, contractors uncovered what appear to be dinosaur bones.
Initial (very enthusiastic) assessments suggest the remains could belong to a previously unknown species, tentatively named Green Templetonosaurus.
We’ll share further updates as soon as we know more… 🦖
When the researcher becomes the patient.
In this thought-provoking reflection for The Times Magazine, Research Fellow Karl Smith Byrne shares what tackling cancer has taught him both in his work and in his own life.
Diagnosed with rectal cancer at just 27, Karl brings a rare dual perspective to his field, combining research with lived experience to advocate for greater focus on prevention and more patient-centred science.
A compelling insight into resilience and the future of cancer research.
