Diversity Dinner highlights Green Templeton’s commitment to equality and diversity
On Saturday 26th October, a Diversity Dinner and was held at Green Templeton to celebrate the range of people and identities within our whole community, and to encourage us to meet one another, over dinner, to support a culture of inclusivity in college.
After a welcome from the college Principal, Denise Lievesley, the College’s Equality & Diversity Fellow, Neo Tapela, gave a talk where she spoke about what diversity and inclusion mean to her and the importance to her role, as well as highlighting the year’s coming programmes that demonstrate Green Templeton’s commitment to Equality and Diversity.
Neo concluded by inviting allies to help build on the supportive inclusive environment at Green Templeton, with such support symbolised by our symbol below, signifying allyship for marginalised groups. College members are encouraged to ‘sign up’ to an ongoing commitment to the college’s developing Equality & Diversity activities.

🦖🦴 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.
