for you to enjoy!

Welcome back to In the Loop! In this edition, we celebrate our beautiful College in all its autumnal glory. Term has now started and we have been delighted to welcome our latest Jesubites to College!

On Facebook, we shared news about our latest cutting edge research with the release of a brand new video celebrating the Digital Hub Fellowship scheme and the announcement of the publication of College Fellow Professor Tim Palmer CBE’s latest book, The Primacy of Doubt!

We are delighted to be a part of the Gale Digital Humanities Programme, which enables scholars to conduct a period of Digital Humanities research here at the University of Oxford, using the BodleianLibraries' Centre for Digital Scholarship.
The video above features Jesus College and the Cheng Kar Shun Digital Hub, and explains more about the programme, and the recent Digital Humanities Fellowship scheme, which gives researchers from the Asian Pacific region an opportunity to further their research at Oxford. 
How does the geometry of chaos explain our uncertain world – from weather and pandemics to quantum physics and free will? In his new book on the science of uncertainty, Tim Palmer, Professorial Fellow at Jesus College and Royal Society Research Professor in Climate Physicson, demonstrates how the geometry of chaos provides the means to predict the world around us and suggests new insights into some of the most astonishing aspects of our universe and ourselves. The Primacy of Doubt: from Climate Change to Quantum Physics, How the Science of Uncertainty Can Help Predict and Understand Our Chaotic World can be purchased online from our most-loved bookshop in Oxford – Blackwell’s.
On our YouTube channel, we were delighted to share the penultimate instalment of our #JesusFutures from May. In this instalment, Emeritus Professors Pamela Sammons and Kathy Sylva are joined by St Peter’s College alumna Megan Greet (2008, Physics) to discuss the future of education, especially in light of the aftermath of the Covid pandemic. The session is chaired by Dr Peter Sutton, Alumni Engagement Manager.

#JesusInternational II: Jesus academic drawing up international cyber due diligence baselines

'Due diligence' has recently become a buzzword in the cyber domain but whether the nature, content and scope of due diligence is a principle of international law, a self-standing obligation, or a set standard of conduct still remains unclear.
REGISTER ONLINE to join our conversation with our young and internationally acclaimed academic Dr Talita de Souza Dias LLB (UFPE), MJur (Oxon), DPhil (Oxon) the Shaw Foundation Junior Research Fellow in Law at Jesus College, to find out the latest of her research into traditional cases and recent practices of states with an aim to contend whether or not there is a consensus on cyber due diligence.

And finally, on Instagram, we welcomed our Freshers and new Fellows and shared a selection of beautiful Autumnal images of College and our wider city.

It falls on field and tree,
It rains on the umbrellas here,
And on the ships at sea'
