About the ‘Sustainability in…’ talks
Sustainability is becoming an important subject in every field and profession. These talks aim to find speakers who can highlight their efforts in sustainability in their field and identify the challenges and opportunities in their disciplines to give the opportunity to open a discussion around sustainability in their field.
Speakers will either talk about their personal experiences in their work, give wider information about the field in general, or a combination of both.
The ‘Sustainability in…’ talks are supported by a Green Templeton College academic grant and organised by Green Templeton College students Constanze Cavalier and Lore Purroy Sanchez, who are the Environment Officers of the Graduate Common Room (GCR).

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.

🦖🦴 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.
