<strong>College</strong> life5How I got backThe triumphs, trials and tribulations <strong>of</strong>returning to <strong>St</strong> Catz through the volcanic ashWhen the plumes <strong>of</strong> ash erupting from Iceland’sEyjafjallajökull volcano crossed British aerospace inEaster 2010, thousands <strong>of</strong> travellers both in and out <strong>of</strong>the UK were grounded. With Catz students and Fellowsattempting to return to the <strong>College</strong> for Trinity Term inthe midst <strong>of</strong> the ash cloud – including the Master, whowas stranded in New York following an alumni event –Emeritus Fellow Henry Bennet-Clark set a competitionfor the best short account <strong>of</strong> the return to Catz. Thetitle for the entries was: ‘How I got back: Thetriumphs, trials and tribulations <strong>of</strong> returning to <strong>St</strong> Catzthrough the volcanic ash.’ There were many excellentsubmissions and amusing tales, but the winner wasjudged to be second-year English student OctaviaSeymour, who was stranded in Johannesburg airportfor almost two days…her winning entry can be seenbelow:On the way back from a surf trip to Mozambique I wasdelayed for 32 hours in the wondrous Johannesburgairport. It was an enlightening experience as the firstthing I see when I arrive is an eight-way chesstournament being played at the check-in desk,watched by the 2000 exhausted BA passengers onstandby. So I find myself a corner in a cafe (by a plug)and sit down on the uncomfortable IKEA chair. I makefriends with a nine-year old when he sees that I amwatching a surf film. He then <strong>of</strong>fers me his (second)Kinder Egg in return for twenty minutes <strong>of</strong> playingsolitaire. We end up splitting the chocolate whilst hetells me all about his trip to Durban to visit his granny.An older man named Bernie asks if he might take thetable next to me, falls asleep briefly and then spendstwenty minutes apologizing pr<strong>of</strong>usely. Three peopleask me if I’m connected to the internet, four ask for alight, one for a cigarette, one for the chilli sauce thatI’ve been hoarding so protectively at my table, but byfar the most entertaining were the group whoseluggage had been sent to their destination (France)just before they’d been caught in transit by thevolcanic eruption. Much to my amusement, they weretherefore clad in the only clothes that the airport soldfor under £100 – what seemed to be the entire set <strong>of</strong>promotional clothing for the South African World Cup(including the whistles) – and really getting into thespirit <strong>of</strong> the standby-passenger community – theybought the entire cafe four rounds <strong>of</strong> gin and tonicsat what must have been nine in the morning. As thebusinessmen paced up and down with theirBlackberries, clearly in the grips <strong>of</strong> heart palpitations,those <strong>of</strong> us still clinging to the memories <strong>of</strong> ourholidays relaxed and made friends, safe in theknowledge that home was being delayed for just thatlittle bit longer... ■‘Scientists are artists – theyjust use a different toolbox’Astrid Woollard (DPhil, Plant Sciences) has recentlybeen awarded fifth place in a national designcompetition for one <strong>of</strong> her pieces <strong>of</strong> handmadejewellery. Her necklace ‘Elizabeth’ was up againststrong competition from 130 other designers in theSwarovski & E-Beads European Design Competition2010, but fought <strong>of</strong>f many <strong>of</strong> the other entrants tobe named one <strong>of</strong> the UK’s best jewellery designs.This recent award marks a highly successful year forAstrid’s new venture Angels Love Beauty, which hasturned her hobby, jewellery design, into aflourishing business.Astrid, who grew up in Vienna, has successfullycombined her two passions, science and design, formany years. After studying for a Master’s degree inMicrobiology and Genetics at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong>Vienna, she moved to the UK to study for a DPhil inPlant Sciences here at <strong>St</strong> Catz. Throughout this time,Astrid has continued designing jewellery, makingpieces for family and friends. She sees her twopassions as going hand-in-hand: ‘Jewellery design,just like science, allows a lot <strong>of</strong> room for imaginationand creativity’, she says, ‘many people think they donot go well together but they actually do: in myopinion scientists are artists – they just use adifferent toolbox.’It wasn’t until late 2009 that she visited her firstcraft fair near London to sell her unique designs.Astrid was overwhelmed with the response shereceived from the fair’s visitors and it was this daythat marked the birth <strong>of</strong> her now flourishingbusiness, Angels Love Beauty. Through this brand,Astrid aims to <strong>of</strong>fer high-quality, unique, designercreations at affordable prices. She says: ‘Every piece<strong>of</strong> my jewellery is a passionate piece <strong>of</strong> art.’ Formore details about Astrid’s jewellery, visit herwebsite www.angels-love-beauty.com.J Henry Bennet-Clarkawarding Octavia Seymourher prize.They boughtthe entire cafefour rounds <strong>of</strong>gin and tonicsat what musthave been ninein the morning.K Astrid wearing her‘Elizabeth’ necklace, whichwon fifth place at theSwarovski and E-BeadsDesign competition 2010.
6 <strong>College</strong> life<strong>St</strong> Catz welcomes firstIndigenous Australian studentever to study at <strong>Oxford</strong>This Michaelmas Term, <strong>St</strong> Catherine’s welcomes one <strong>of</strong>the first two Indigenous Australians ever to study at<strong>Oxford</strong> <strong>University</strong>. Paul Gray (DPhil, ExperimentalPsychology) from Tahmoor, New South Wales (NSW),won one <strong>of</strong> the two inaugural Charlie PerkinsScholarships, established to support IndigenousAustralians who gain a place to study at <strong>Oxford</strong>.The scholarships are named after Australian Indigenousleader Charlie Perkins (1936-2000), who was inspiredto forego a contract with Manchester United and returnhome to pursue a university education after playingfootball against <strong>Oxford</strong> students in Britain in the 1960s.He was the first indigenous person to graduate from anAustralian university in 1965 and went on to become aprominent Aboriginal leader who campaigned for civilrights reform and, amongst other roles, served asSecretary <strong>of</strong> Australia’s Department <strong>of</strong> AboriginalAffairs.Two students, Paul Gray and Christian Thompson, havebeen awarded the very first <strong>of</strong> these scholarships, andhave now begun their studies here at <strong>Oxford</strong>. Wecaught up with Paul after his first week at <strong>St</strong> Catz:Photo by Christian ThompsonI hope mystudies at<strong>Oxford</strong> willbetter equip meto make asignificantdifference tothe lives <strong>of</strong> thevulnerablechildren I workwith...What are you studying here at <strong>Oxford</strong>?My studies here very much follow on from the workI’ve been doing with children in care, and I’mplanning to work in partnership with the NSWDepartment <strong>of</strong> Community Services to achieve betteroutcomes for children in out-<strong>of</strong>-home care. The basicidea at this stage is to look at the way thatexperiences <strong>of</strong> childhood trauma impact on thedeveloping brain, and how this in turn impacts on theway individuals perceive and interact with the world. Iwill be looking at the effect <strong>of</strong> childhood abuse andneglect on things like emotional functioning,cognitive processes such as attention, and socialprocessing such as understanding social cues. Thehope is that if we better understand the way childrenin care process the world around them, we can targetinterventions more effectively and hopefully reducethe risk <strong>of</strong> long-term mental health issues.What are you most looking forward to aboutstudying at <strong>Oxford</strong>?I think I’m looking forward to the opportunity to beexposed to such a wide range <strong>of</strong> knowledge, not justin terms <strong>of</strong> the really interesting work that ishappening in my Department, but also the work <strong>of</strong>other students around the <strong>College</strong>. It’s great to be ableto listen to people talk about the work they are doingand broaden your own perspective, even if it isnowhere near your own area <strong>of</strong> study.How does it feel to be one <strong>of</strong> the first twoIndigenous Australian students to study at <strong>Oxford</strong><strong>University</strong>?Obviously this is a fantastic opportunity for me andChristian in our own work, but I think more importantlyit’s about boosting the expectations and beliefs withregards to Indigenous Australian education. WhenCharlie Perkins came through here some 50 years agoand decided to return home and become one <strong>of</strong> thefirst Aboriginal Australians to go through an Australianuniversity, he did more than just gain an education forhimself: he showed the community that the <strong>University</strong>system was there as much for Aboriginal Australians asit was for anyone else. The numbers <strong>of</strong> IndigenousAustralian students going to university seems to justkeep rising. Hopefully, this scholarship will be a part <strong>of</strong>that trend, inspiring students to achieve and excel atboth the undergraduate and postgraduate level.What have your studies been prior to <strong>Oxford</strong>?Prior to coming to <strong>Oxford</strong>, I studied Psychology at the<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Sydney. For the last two-and-a-half yearsI’ve been training and working as a Psychologist withthe New South Wales Department <strong>of</strong> CommunityServices, which is the statutory child protection service.In this role I provided support to children and youngpeople who had been placed into foster care, and totheir foster families, as well as general support andconsultation to social workers and other staff.Where do you hope your studies at <strong>Oxford</strong> willlead you?I hope my studies at <strong>Oxford</strong> will better equip me tomake a significant difference to the lives <strong>of</strong> thevulnerable children I work with and to contribute toimproving the way that child protectionorganisations provide services to children in care. Ialso hope that Christian and I can put the idea thatthese opportunities are out there in the minds <strong>of</strong>other Indigenous Australian children back home: andhopefully we’ll see plenty more Charlie PerkinsScholars coming through <strong>Oxford</strong>.How are you finding life at <strong>St</strong> Catherine’s?<strong>St</strong> Catherine’s has been good so far: it’s been reallywelcoming. It’s always tough moving such a long way,and there is only so much <strong>of</strong> home you can fit withinthe baggage restrictions, but I think the couples’accommodation at <strong>St</strong> Catherine’s is proving ideal forme and my wife. We’ve got our own little space to callhome, and a good community nearby at the <strong>College</strong>,so we are settling in well. Coming from Australia, wearen’t really sure what to expect come winter though!Finally, what are we most likely to find you doingaway from your studies?Spending time with my wife, catching up with familyor playing football.

Thepaper, referred to inthe October editionunder ‘ResearchHighlights’, was firstprinted in a recent Royal Society journal. It covers DrBailey’s current research into the dramatic changesthat many natural systems undergo over time.Describing his work, he said, ‘Understanding andpredicting these changes is an important problem.One such system, which directly supports over onethird <strong>of</strong> the World’s population, is formed bydrought-adapted vegetation in arid and semi-aridregions <strong>of</strong> the World. This work identifies a range <strong>of</strong>‘early-warning signals’, involving both the spatialpatterning <strong>of</strong> plant cover and changes in recoverytimes following small perturbations. Monitoring forthese signals is practically feasible and would helpidentify highly-stressed areas <strong>of</strong> vegetation andforewarn <strong>of</strong> impending changes.’ ■
