Reminder about pupil illness:

If your child has been absent from school due to sickness and diarrhoea we ask that they do not return to school until they have been without symptoms for 48 hours. In this way we hope to prevent the spread of the virus.

Thomas Woolley -"How the fish got its spots"
Alan Turing was a computer logician (before there were computers), an essential code breaker of World War II (tragically misunderstood) and a mathematical biologist (before the subject existed). 
By taking a brief tour of only some of his achievements we will see just how far ahead of his time he was. Our final focus will be on one of his most beautiful ideas: the creation of biological complexity from simplicity, or, how the fish got its spots.

Wednesday 25th April 2012:

Ed Hutchinson - "Bacteria and viruses: getting to know your closest companions"
Our bodies are habitats for huge numbers of invisibly small organisms. A small proportion can be dangerous, but most of them are harmless and some help to keep us alive. This talk will look at the bacteria, viruses and other organisms that live on our bodies: what they are , what do they do to us, and what can we do about them.
