The news of the death of someone at the heart of our community is difficult to come to terms with and will affect many of us for a long time to come. In College we will be thinking about how we can provide space and events through which we can remember Antonio.

'Savour these moments. Do it all. Embrace the unknown, because within it lies the potential for extraordinary friendships, unexpected opportunities, and a life filled with the kind of magic that only ‘first times’ can bring.’

We are deeply saddened to announce the sudden passing of Catz Fellow Professor Ian Shipsey, Henry Moseley Centenary Professor of Experimental Physics, at the age of 65.
It is with great shock and profound sadness that we share the sudden passing of Prof Ian Shipsey on Mon 7 Oct, a much-loved colleague, friend and Head of Department. A remarkable man who leaves a remarkable legacy. A public book of condolence is available: bit.ly/3ByV2Wm

Amazing work by Catz student @Trisha_0405 !
Sharks are older than the dinosaurs and yet their populations – and those of their close relatives, rays – are in rapid decline.
Marine conservationist and Oxford DPhil student Trisha Gupta (@Trisha_0405) is taking action to protect them.

NEW: Mathematicians discover a new universal class of shapes to explain complex biological forms.
Remarkably, these ’ideal soft shapes’ are found abundantly in nature – from sea shells to muscle cells.
The findings from @OxUniMaths and Budapest University of Technology and Economics not only explain the geometry of biological tissues but could also unlock new building designs, devoid of corners.

The caption reads: Soft cells help explain why, when you look at a cross section of a chambered shell, it shows corners but the 3D geometry of the chambers does not.
