This lecture was given at the College of Occupational Therapists' Annual Conference at Loughborough University of Technology on 17 July 1992. The theme combines personal views about the opportunities and threats currently facing the profession along with consideration of personal strategies for coping with change and how the education of students can help prepare them for the future. The text was accompanied by graphic representations and personal photographs of ‘adventuring’, together with posters prepared by second year students at Queen Margaret College as part of the health psychology syllabus.

It is just fifty years since Rutherford took up his appointment as Langworthy Professor of Physics at the University of Manchester and there established the school of research which was to be so fruitful in great discoveries. It is less than iffy years since he first put forward the nuclear scheme of the structure of the atom. The spirit, the scale, the structure and, above all, the organization and [administration of research in physics has changed so much in these fifty years that the discoveries in question may truly be said to belong to another age, an age so remote as to seem closer to the times of Goethe and of Beethoven than to those of T. S. Eliot and of William Walton. It appeared to me possible that the aspiring young, among whom are numbered the Rutherfords of the future, might be interested to consider certain notable doings of that distant age, while they can still dear of them from one who was himself young at the time in question. I have therefore taken as my theme, for the Rutherford Memorial Lecture, the birth of the nuclear atom, which dominates so much of the physics of today. And, as, in dealing with any notable birth, it is usual and proper to say something about ancestry, I shall begin with those early speculations on the structure of the atom which led up to the conception of Rutherford's model.

In 1907 Ernest Rutherford (later named ‘The Crocodile’ by Peter Kapitza), 36 years old and already a world–famous physicist, moved from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, to the University of Manchester, England. In the same year Niels Bohr (later known by some as ‘The Elephant’––he was one of the very few non–royal recipients of the Order of the Elephant), a 22–year–old student at the University of Copenhagen, received the gold medal of the Royal Danish Academy for his first research project, an experimental and theoretical study of water jets. During the next 30 years, until Rutherford's death in 1937, these two great scientists dominated quantum physics. Rutherford was the father of nuclear physics; together they founded atomic physics; and, with their students and colleagues, they were responsible for the great majority of the decisive advances made in the inter–war years. This lecture tells the story of the development in quantum physics, and makes some comparisons between Bohr and Rutherford–as men and scientists–drawing especially on their extensive correspondence between 1912 and 1937, the material that Bohr gathered in connection with the publication in 1961 of his Rutherford Memorial Lecture, the interviews that he gave just before his death in 1962, and other published and unpublished material from the Niels Bohr Archive in Copenhagen.

Talking STS is a collection of interviews and accompanying reflections on the origins, the present and the future of the field referred to as Science and Technology Studies or Science, Technology and Society (STS). The volume assembles the thoughts and recollections of some of the leading figures in the making of this field. The occasion for producing the collection has been the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of Edinburgh’s Science Studies Unit (SSU). The Unit’s place in the history of STS is consequently a recurring theme of the volume. However, the interviews assembled here have a broader purpose – to present interviewees’ situated and idiosyncratic experiences and perspectives on STS, going beyond the contributions made to it by any one individual, department or institution. Both individually and collectively, these conversations provide autobiographically informed insights on STS. Together with the reflections, they prompt further discussion, reflection and questioning about this constantly evolving field.

Just design: Healthy prisons and the architecture of hope

This article develops the notion that institutional places and spaces are layered with meaning and that their architecture and design have a profound psychological and physiological influence on those who live and work within them. Mindful of the intrinsic link between ‘beauty’ and ‘being just’, the article explores the potential ‘healing’ or rehabilitative role of penal aesthetics. As many countries modernise their prison estates, replacing older facilities that are no longer fit-for-purpose with new, more ‘efficient’ establishments, this article discusses examples of international best (and less good) practice in penal and hospital settings. It reflects on what those who commission and design new prisons might learn from pioneering design initiatives in healthcare environments and asks whether the philosophies underpinning the ‘architecture of hope’ that Maggie’s Cancer Care Centres exemplify could be incorporated into prisons of the future. The article was originally presented as a public lecture in the annual John V Barry memorial lecture series at the University of Melbourne on 24 November 2016.
