Curious Minds 8.11: The University of St Andrews Photographic Collection
For the last meeting in this PSNS season, Laura Brown, curator of the collection, gave us a guided tour of the photographs available – somewhere between 1.6 and 1.8 million photos(!), some dating back to the earliest days of photography in the late 1830s.
Unfortunately, due to technical issues, a video of the evening will not be available. However, the live link at which the collection can be viewed is: https://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/collections/
Curious Minds 8.10: Science and Theology
Professor Mark Harris, director of the Ian Ramsey Centre at the University of Oxford, is both a physicist by training and an ordained Anglican priest. He spoke about the ways the relationship between science and religion and theology can be seen – from outright conflict (which is bigger than the other?) through independence to a dialogue and more.
The video of his talk is available on Youtube:
