To mark this occasion, Sir Paul would love to meet students and share with some insights into a career in research, drawing on his own experience that would eventually lead him to winning the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine 2001 for his part in the discovery of protein molecules that control the duplication of cells in the cell cycle.
Sir Paul is Chief Executive and Director of the Francis Crick Institute, and former President of the Royal Society. He is the third Nobel laureate to be installed as Chancellor of the University of Bristol, after Sir Winston Churchill (Literature 1953; Chancellor 1929-1965) and Dorothy Hodgkin (Chemistry 1964; Chancellor 1970-1988).
As Chancellor of the University of Bristol, Sir Paul will be the ceremonial head of the institution and play an important ambassadorial role, nationally and internationally. This is a great opportunity for University of Bristol students to meet your new Chancellor and a Q&A will follow chaired by Laura Ho, Postgraduate Education Officer, Bristol SU.
Please register for a place and bring your ticket with you on the day preferably on your phone or printed. Late comers may not be admitted. Please note this event is for students only and you may be asked to show your student card.
This event is in partnership with Bristol SU, Bristol Doctoral College and the Postgraduate Network.
