<br>
Happy new year from all of us. While 2021 has not started in the way we would have hoped there are still plenty of opportunities for us to engage and share research produced at the university. The first key opportunity this year comes through
<a href="https://nottsfosac.co.uk/events/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color:#E0629A;text-decoration:none">Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity</span></b></a>, taking place from 8-17 February. We were really pleased with how many of our staff and
researchers responded to the call for participants and am sure these will be hugely popular.<br>
<br>
The new year has meant some changes for us and we are delighted to welcome <strong>
<span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Professor Susan Anderson</span></strong>, who is joining the Institute team as the academic lead for public engagement. She will initially be working a day a week, and will then spend two days a week with us helping
shape our programme and delivering our public engagement blueprint. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

breast cancer</span></b></a><br>
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">21 January, 6-7 pm</span></strong><br>
The first Science Public Lecture of 2021 sees us team up with the School of Medicine and join them in celebrating their anniversary year.<br>
The Nottingham Prognostic Index was developed in the 1970s-1980s and has been widely used internationally for the management of breast cancer in women under the age of 70 years. Although the majority of breast cancer cases are found in the older population
which is rapidly expanding, older women tend to be under-represented in research studies. Professor Cheung saw the gap and started developing a dedicated research programme in Nottingham. In this lecture, he will share his passion and research journey on how
to optimise the management of older women with breast cancer.<br>
