CAREERS NEWSLETTER We’re excited to announce that the University of Hertfordshire is an official livestream venue for the first of this year’s CHRISTMAS LECTURES from the Royal Institution. As the lecture will be filmed in front of a live audience, we are able to offer a limited number of students (plus accompanying parents/guardians) the special opportunity to be the first to discover mysteries of the Universe with Dame Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, on campus. Thursday 11 December 18:00 – 20:00* University of Hertfordshire, College Lane Campus AL10 9AB You can also book an optional 17:00 tour of our new Spectra building, home to our engineering, computer science, physics, astrophysics and maths students. To join us, please book your spot, using the link below https://app.geckoform.com/public/#/modern/21FO00tkt68fhw0026o0vomruc Lecture 1 We begin by exploring the technology that’s allowed us to look out and discover that there are other worlds beyond our own. While advanced telescopes put paid to some of the early theories about life on our nearest neighbours, they’ve also opened up a host of other places we could look for it. We’ll leave the Earth and look back at our planet from orbit to find out what life looks like from space, how we think it might have emerged here, and how we might identify another ‘habitable planet’… if it’s out there. We’ll meet the astronauts who can tell us more about what it takes to send human life out into space, share the latest news on the Artemis mission to the Moon, and demonstrate how future human settlements could use lunar resources to survive. With creative experiments and citizen science projects, series Lecture one brings space exploration to life. www.rigb.org/2025-christmas-lectures
