Well done Karen for having sailed through the viva and been awarded your PhD with flying colours! The focus of
Karen's dissertation was John Egerton, 1st Earl of Bridgewater as evidenced by his letter collection 1630-42. For Milton scholars, there is a fantastic chapter on Milton's Comus!

THANK YOU JAN BROADWAY!

CELL would like publicly to thank Dr Jan Broadway for valiantly taking over as Acting Director, at short notice, for the past six months, to cover for Professor Jardine's illness. The Director is now fit and well and back in post, and is well aware that the fact that she finds things at CELL in such apple-pie order is entirely thanks to Jan!

Congratulations to Dr Noah Moxham!

Our warmest congratulations to Dr Noah Moxham who has been awarded his PhD.

Noah's thesis, entitled “Making it Official: Experiments in Institutionality and the Employees and Publications of the Royal Society, 1675-1705” was examined by Professor Rob Iliffe (University of Sussex) and Dr Adam Smyth (Birkbeck).

Well done, Noah!
