News / Campendium CAM's summary of what's been happening across the University. Student life / Ding Dong Merrily on high! The Cambridge University Guild of Change Ringers makes sure everyone is ready to pull their weight. My room, your room / Miriam Margolyes returns to 301, Newnham College BAFTA-winning actor Miriam Margolyes meets third-year historian Amelia Bell to discuss books, biscuits and... well, you’ll see. University matters / What does it take to be an outstanding Chancellor? As the University says goodbye to Lord Sainsbury of Turville, we celebrate the man behind the gown. Brainwaves / What’s behind the revolution in heating and cooling? No gas. Heating and cooling are the elephants in the room when it comes to global warming.

Oh, and did we mention it will only work below -273°C? Features / Art without men The Women’s Art Collection, held at Murray Edwards, is Europe’s largest collection of art by women. Here is the world through women’s eyes. Features / From particle collisions to data constellations Dr Mireia Crispin-Ortuzar swapped her research on supersymmetry for a chance to reduce mortality from ovarian cancers.
