A nota bene from CELL

The CELL office prepares the new look

CELL will be launching a new version of www.livesandletters.ac.uk very soon! This will mean we'll be doing a bit of work on both the back end of the site and the server, so you might not get the usual smooth as silk livesandletters experience. We'll be doing everything we can to keep disruption to an absolute minimum - and the individual project sites should continue unaffected. Do let us know if you encounter any problems!

Director's Seminar programme unveiled!

The sort of thing we regularly just knock up for the seminar

The 2013 autumn term schedule for the Director's Seminar is now available. Led by CELL's Director, Professor Lisa Jardine, the seminar is where CELL comes together to discuss work, chat about whatever's interesting at the time, and eat baked goods. Every Thursday 10.30-12 in Room 111 Foster Court, attending the seminar is obligatory for all CELL people, but the seminar is open to all postgraduates who would like to pitch in and get involved - just email Matthew Symonds or Robyn Adams to find out more.

Congratulations Daisy!
