Alan graduated from Bristol University and was\, for 30 years\, a foreign correspondent for The New York Times. Alan spent two decades covering Latin America’s dictatorship\, armed rebellions\, drug wars and economic meltdown. He was later the newspaper’s Paris bureau chief and European cultural correspondent. He is author of books on Mexico\, Shakespeare and Opera and\, most recently\, of “And The Show Went On: Cultural Life in Nazi-occupied Paris.” He remains a resident of Paris. Andrew and Edward need little introduction to most of our members\, Andrew being the current President and Edward a past President of our Society. \nTCD have put forward an impressive team\, with Edward Donalon\, Declan McCavana and their guest speaker David Doyle. David is H.E Ambassador and Permanent Delegate to UNESCO of St. Kitts and Nevis\, while Declan is President of the French Debating Association. Edward is a Barrister and worked for the OECD before becoming an independent consultant in Regulatory Management. \nHE Ambassador of Ireland to France Patricia O’Brien has kindly agreed to host the debate\, which will take place at the Irish Embassy\, 12 Avenue Foch\, 75116 Paris. The Debate will be followed by drinks and the event is expected to conclude at 8:45 pm. \nTickets are now on sale: €20 per person for Society members and their guests\, with a discounted price of €10 per person for members or guests under 30 years of age. Early booking is recommended as we anticipate that demand may exceed the number of places that have been allocated to us. For members who are not able to book their place through the website\, a PDF booking form can be obtained by contacting Tony Banton on admin@camsocparis.org. \nUnless all tickets are sold before\, the final date for booking your place is Sunday 6th October\, as the list of participants then has to be provided to the Embassy’s security staff. \nAs the debate takes place in the Irish Embassy\, members and guests must bring photographic ID in order to be admitted to the event. \n  URL:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/event/challenge-debate-against-trinity-college-dublin/ LOCATION:Irish Embassy Paris\, 12 avenue Foch\, Paris\, 75116\, France CATEGORIES:Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://cambridgesocietyofparis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Irish-Embassy-Paris.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cambridge%20Society%20of%20Paris":MAILTO:admin@camsocparis.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20190928T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20190928T163000 DTSTAMP:20260417T124040 CREATED:20190910T130900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190924T125103Z UID:14962-1569679200-1569688200@cambridgesocietyofparis.com SUMMARY:Glory Days of Paris 3 - Guided Walk in Montparnasse DESCRIPTION:GLORY DAYS OF PARIS \nGuided Walk in Montparnasse to accompany the third lecture of the Glory Days Series \n“The Artists and Writers of the 1920s and ’30s” \nUnfortunately\, because of ill health on the part of our Lecturer\, Mary McAuliffe\, the third lecture in the Glory Days of Paris series has had to be postponed.

Even if you have been there before\, you will definitely not be bored: the opulence of the carving is incredible. \nA bonus is that our tour will be followed by lunch at much-appreciated Restaurant de l’Abbaye which is just across the road. \nMore info on this too will follow soon\, so we can make the necessary reservations in good time.

While DNA is the blueprint for life it rests inertly within our cells. The ribosome is an enormous molecular machine\, even more ancient than DNA that translates the information in our genes into proteins. These proteins in turn make up much of our bodies and catalyse thousands of processes within our cells. \nA ribosome is a machine no cell can do without\, but until recently\, how this machine worked was a mystery. As well as being essential for life\, its practical importance also lies in the fact that the ribosome is the target of many major antibiotics. A knowledge of the structure of the ribosome is the key to the development of new treatments against deadly infections\, so crucial for the future of mankind. \nIn his lecture Venki Ramakrishnan will outline the extraordinary race between groups of scientists around the world to be the first to uncover the structure of this central element of the human body. It is a story of high science\, rivalry\, generosity and mutual support. In other words it is a story of humanity uncovering one of the secrets of humanity! \nHe will also talk about what he calls the Politics of Recognition in science. It is a well-known adage that the essential first step to a Nobel Prize is to work in a lab where there are already Nobel Laureates — is this true and\, if so\, what does this mean? There have been 12 Nobel Prizes for staff of his own lab since it opened in 1958\, as well as 11 for scientists who have spent time there as visitors. \nVenki is group leader at the Medical Research Council (MRC) Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge. In 2009 he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work on ribosomal structure and was knighted in 2012. He is a Member of the US National Academy of Sciences\, Leopoldina and EMBO\, and a Foreign Member of the Indian National Science Academy. In 2015\, he was elected as President of the Royal Society for a five-year term.
