When Alan Turing’s story took to the stage in Royal & Derngate Theatre’s production of 'Breaking the Code', Senior Research Fellow Dr Christopher Hollings was behind the scenes helping the cast bring his mathematics to life.
As historical adviser, Christopher worked with the company to make sure Turing’s ideas were represented accurately. But the collaboration worked both ways: exploring Turing’s work brought both surprises and moments of confirmation, while seeing mathematics interpreted through performance offered new insight into how complex ideas can be communicated.

After more than 40 years at Queen’s, Fellow in Medicine and Professor of Physiology Peter Robbins is retiring.
In this interview, he looks back on a career spanning research, teaching, clinical medicine and College life, from exploring how the human body responds to low oxygen to serving as the College’s Estates Bursar.
He reflects on how both Physiology and Queen’s have changed since he joined the Fellowship in 1985, and the pleasure he has found in teaching generations of students.
Asked what makes Queen’s thrive, his answer is simple: “It’s people.”

🌏 Are we measuring the wrong things in the fight against climate change?
Climate change. Biodiversity loss. Net zero. We hear these terms every day but are we asking the right questions?
In the latest episode of ‘Provox’, the Provost speaks to Professor of Economic Policy at Oxford Sir Dieter Helm, one of Britain's leading environmental economists, about why progress on climate has proved so elusive.
Together they explore whether current policies are tackling the right problems and what it will take to balance prosperity with genuine environmental stewardship.
