Alongside Simon, Dr Bill Bynum of the Wellcome Institute will detail his collaborative work with Roy and cast light on Roy’s major contributions to medical history research and teaching.

Hosted by the Christ's College Medical Alumni Association, join Professor Sir Simon Schama (m. 1963) as he reflects on his undergraduate and early academic training alongside Roy Porter at Christ’s College, Cambridge.

our wonderful colleagues who took part in our Test, Trace, Trust? project and whose ideas shaped this work indelibly: Dr Alexandra Albert, Dr Stephanie Hare, and Dr Yewande Okuleye; and our project’s principal investigator, Dr Freya Jephcott.

My co-author Dr @alexahagerty.bsky.social and I wish to thank our colleagues at the London Borough of Hackney, especially Dr Sandra Husbands and Dr Andrew Trathen;

The government’s public accounts committee eventually found that NHS Test and Trace did not meet its main objective of interrupting chains of COVID-19 transmission.
