The exhibition will celebrate the achievements of Churchill’s scientists and engineers from the founding Fellows to the latest generation.

The exhibition is open from 11 October to 3 December daily, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., in the Jock Colville Hall, Churchill College and admission is free.
Contributions to the exhibition include the Nobel prizewinner Francis Crick, co-discoverer of the structure of DNA; Antony Hewish, another Nobel Laureate, who was awarded the prize for his work on the development of radio aperture synthesis and its role in the discovery of pulsars; Peter Wadhams, recently named by the Independent as one of the top five environmentalists working in Britain today; and Henning Sirringhaus who, as co-founder of Plastic Logic, is developing a unique process to produce flexible display modules for ‘take anywhere, read anywhere’ electronic reader products.
