DESCRIPTION:Alex Hopkins was an Undergraduate\, Advanced Student and Teach
 ing Fellow in Chemistry at Churchill College who died tragically young in 
 2006. The fund in his memory was established by his family and friends to 
 support Chemistry at Churchill.\n\nEach year\, the fund supports the award
  of one or more prizes for outstanding overall achievement in the final Tr
 ipos examination in Chemistry. From 2011 onwards\, the fund will also spon
 sor an annual 'Alex Hopkins Lecture'\, to be held in the Department of Che
 mistry. Alex's infectious enthusiasm and humour characterized his teaching
  and his exceptional ability to communicate his passion for science. The l
 ectures\, although routed in science\, aim to be as much about entertainin
 g as educating and are designed to be appealing and accessible to all.\n\n
