HCUK, Harvard’s UK ambassadors, serves as a community for those connected to Harvard and the UK.

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. 🌟

🎹 Don’t miss this very special evening with one of Harvard’s finest musicians!

On Friday, 20 March, join fellow Harvard alumni and guests for a one-night-only piano recital with Tony Yike Yang (AB ‘20) at the beautiful Bechstein Hall on Wigmore Street.

Tony first rose to international acclaim at just 16, becoming the youngest-ever laureate in the history of the International Chopin Piano Competition in Warsaw. 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!

✨ February events are in full swing for HCUK! ✨

On Wednesday, 25 February, join fellow Harvard alumni and guests for a one night only public talk with internationally renowned artist Janet Echelman AB ’87, the first visual artist to serve on Harvard’s Board of Overseers.

The internationally renowned artist is best known for her monumental, wind responsive sculptures that merge art, engineering, and architecture and transform public spaces in cities around the world. Her installations have become landmarks in cities such as here in London and as far as New York, Sydney, Singapore, and Shanghai.

In this illustrated lecture, Echelman will explore innovation and meaning drawing directly from her new book, “Radical Softness,” and her acclaimed TED Talk, “Taking Imagination Seriously,” she reflects on how responsiveness, flexibility, and imagination can reshape our cities.
