Our own Professor Caroline Hing of St George’s University London, who is Chair of AOUK & I R&PD and also chairs the AOUK&I Undergraduate Programme delivered her inaugural lecture on Monday 7th November after been appointed during COVID times.

St George's newly arrived or promoted professors are invited to give an inaugural lecture to mark this milestone in their academic careers and to introduce themselves, update colleagues on current and future research plans, and share their research with wider audiences. She has chosen to explore why failure is essential for success.

The story of her professional journey highlights some work experience as a trapeze artist, a climber and a cockroach impersonator. It’s a must see.
