DESCRIPTION:This week's Stokes Society talk is actually four talks rolled 
 into one\, with members of Pembroke GP presenting their research and inter
 ests in science in what is going to be an exciting evening!\n\nTalks will 
 be 10-15 minutes long\, with a few minutes following for questions. Our sp
 eakers are as follows:\n\nMaya Hanspal: Pigments of My Imagination\nIntrod
 ucing people to the weird and wonderful world of synaesthesia from an insi
 der's point of view.\n\nRichard Heywood: Will we ever cure cancer?\nDespit
 e huge amounts of research into new treatments for cancer\, it is still on
 e of the biggest killers worldwide. This talk will look at the challenges 
 that face researchers\, and whether we will be able to overcome these now 
 and in the future.\n\nMark Nelson: The Next Century of Energy\nCovering th
 e biggest families of energy technologies\, their level of potential utili
 zation\, and the economic\, social\, and technology policies required to p
 ower our world with these sources.\n\nHighlights including: cutting-edge i
 nformation about fusion energy\, the dark side of renewables\, and the Gre
 at Number Problem that basically guarantees that we won't fight climate ch
 ange in any meaningful fashion.\n\nKrishnaa Mahbubani: Synthetic Cell Tran
 sduction Agents (aka Applications of Phospholipid Membrane Interactions)\n
 For my current research\, I am attempting to address the interaction with 
 phospholipid membranes from a theoretical view point in order to identify 
 the features used by synthetic transduction agents and how this extends in
 to polymer-cell interactions. \n\nIncluding tea\, coffee\, wine and nibble
 s\, we hope to see you all there!
