This week we have been holding our Cabot Summer School on risk and uncertainty in natural hazards. The week has gone very well and I have
received some very positive comments from attendees. We had some fantastic speakers including
Herbert Huppert, Jonty Rougier, Steve Sparks, Willy Aspinall, Li Chen, Tamsin
Edwards, Philippa Bayley and Thorsten Wagener.
Cabot would like to say a great big thank you to all of you for making
the Cabot Summer School such a success.
We’re very much looking forward to next year.

| Paul F. Hoffman |
This week, Cabot member Rich Pancost secured Paul F. Hoffman of
Snowball Earth fame as the next Science Faculty Colloquium speaker in
September.
I saw the new templates for our website today. Its all looking good and I’m quite excited
about the implementation of its new look.
By the end of the summer I hope to have it all up and running.
We would like to congratulate Cabot member Professor
Mark Eisler and his team who evaluated the effectiveness of a low-cost decision support tool as a diagnostic aid by observing whether its introduction
to veterinary and animal health officers undertaking primary animal health care
in Uganda could lead to changes in clinical practice. Improved diagnosis
is necessary for the effective management of endemic cattle diseases in
sub-Saharan Africa.
We would also like to congratulate Gareth Jones, Stephen
Harris and Emma Stone who received £559,705 from NERC for a project on
‘Experimental approaches to determine the impacts of light pollution: field studies on bats and insects’.
