DESCRIPTION:This talk shows how the electronic specific heat measurements 
 of John Loram at Cambridge led the field of high-Tc superconductivity\, an
 ticipating\, often years ahead of other studies\, many key results which a
 t the time were not widely accepted and often vehemently opposed but event
 ually came to be mainstream understanding. The links between specific heat
  and ARPES\, Raman\, infrared\, tunnelling\, muon spin relaxation\, magnet
 isation\, transport and critical currents will be outlined along with insi
 ghts into the competition between superconductivity and the enigmatic pseu
 dogap which have now become accepted. Central results from the electronic 
 specific heat which remain to be accepted will also be discussed – they 
 too are likely to eventually become generally established. The broad\, wid
 e-ranging sweep of these insights is a testament to both John Loram’s as
 tonishing experimental technique and his interpretive genius.
