A message from Daphne Siniscalco, President of the Harvard Club of the United Kingdom:

Happy Fourth of July from across the pond! 🎆

The Harvard Club of the UK raises a very polite cup of tea to our American cousins—and our US members—on this historic 250th anniversary.

We like to think of the Revolution as the ultimate family argument: the kind where we stopped speaking for a bit, but now we share each other’s holidays. Some of us are even celebrating liberation from Britain while living in Britain!

While we may still disagree on where the tea belongs, we will always share a deep love for liberty, learning, and lively debate.

Cheers to 250 years of friendship! 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Let’s take photos while learning about architecture! 📸 🏛️

Join the Harvard Club of the UK for an evening photography walk from the Tate Modern to St. Paul’s Cathedral, led by fellow alumni and photographers Seiah Yu (HES ALB 2020) and Kate Cooper (HES ALB 2019).

During the walk, learn about the architecture from Carlos Finlay, PhD candidate from Oxford University and English Heritage specialising in twentieth-century architectural history, who will be guiding us along the way.

Whether you’re an experienced photographer or simply taking photos on your phone, this event is open to all levels and designed to help participants see London in a different light. We’ll begin with a short introduction to photography basics before setting off on a guided walk featuring creative themes and mini photo challenges inspired by the city’s architecture, movement, and atmosphere.

This week, HCUK had the honour of joining to unveil a blue plaque honouring Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin at 70 Lansdowne Road in London. 🔵

Cecilia was a British-born astrophysicist who became the first woman to earn a PhD in astronomy at Harvard, the first woman promoted to full professor in Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, and the first woman to head a department there.

Her dissertation proved that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. It was initially rejected but was later called the greatest PhD thesis ever written in astronomy.

We were honoured to be part of the day alongside Oxford University Astrophysicist, Professor Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, Dr Shini Somara, engineer, author, broadcaster and member of the Blue Plaques Panel, Dean Hopi Hoekstra of Harvard University, Edgerley Family Dean of the Faculty of Arts & Sciences, and Astronomer Royal Professor Michele Dougherty to make sure her name is remembered in the place where her story began.

Here’s to the trailblazers like Cecilia. 🌟

Since then, he has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Great Hall of the Moscow Conservatory, Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre, and many of the world’s most prestigious venues.

This is a rare opportunity to see Tony perform live in London, and we’d love to give him a warm Harvard UK welcome!
