The Cambridge Scientific Society was founded in 1995, with the goal of promoting all branches of science at a level both stimulating to those studying science, and accessible to those with an arts background. Today, SciSoc is the most active science society at Cambridge, and with more than 1000 permanent members (and much larger email database), the largest.

Join us for a fascinating talk by Prof. Roy Harrison, Queen Elizabeth II Birmingham Centenary Professor of Environmental Health at the University of Birmingham.

Prof. Harrison’s research explores the link between air pollution and human health, examining the entire life cycle of airborne particles, from emissions and atmospheric chemistry to human exposure and health impacts. His work has played a major role in shaping environmental policy, including contributions to the UK DEFRA Science Advisory Council and the WHO Global Air Quality Guidelines. In this talk, Prof. Harrison will discuss the latest research on ultrafine particle formation, chemistry, and potential health effects.

This week, we’re excited to welcome Prof. Alex Liu, Professor of Paleobiology in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Cambridge, for a fascinating talk on the origins of animal life.

Prof. Liu’s research explores the mysterious fossils of the Ediacaran Period (around 580–539 million years ago), a time when the earliest recognizable animals first appeared in Earth’s oceans. By combining fossils, sedimentary rocks, minerals, and geochemical records, his work helps uncover how ancient environments shaped the evolution of early life.

In this talk, he will dive into the strange and fascinating Ediacaran biota, the oldest fossil evidence of animals. From remote fossil sites to surprising discoveries in the rock record, Prof. Liu will explore how animals evolved, diversified, and eventually came to dominate life on Earth.
