Five of the 32 BHF professors are now at Oxford University, one of the BHF's Centres of Research Excellence. Professor Casadei is the first woman ever to receive such a prestigious award from the British Heart Foundation.

The Foundation for Law, Justice and Society held a workshop last week entitled New Questions in Regulation, at which Max Watson, a former Director of the Central Bank of Ireland, senior official of the International Monetary Fund, and Supernumerary Fellow at Wolfson, headed an expert panel to assess the fallout of the financial crisis and propose new regulatory approaches to tackle the underlying causes.

The film, entitled ‘Multiculturalism', showcases the diversity of the student population at Wolfson, featuring a series of talking heads with Wolfsonians filmed around the College, each speaking in their native language. The film appears on the Guardian longlist of films for the Very Short Film competition, where it is described as an exploration into the importance of social anthropology in the global village.

Former Wolfson Research Fellow Geoff Cottrell has won the best original score at the 2013 Idyllwild Cinemafest in California for his score to the film Tortoise in Love, which was produced and financed by the villagers of Kingston Bagpuize in Oxfordshire.

He recorded and conducted the score for the film, directed by Guy Browning, in the Royal Northern College of Music's main concert hall in Manchester with a twenty-five piece orchestra, and said in response to the accolade, “I'm very excited and obviously extremely happy to receive this award.”

The three-year research project forms part of the interdisciplinary research being conducted by Wolfson's South Asia Research Cluster and is co-sponsored by the UK Department for International Development and the Economic and Social Research Council.

In India, two-thirds of the economy and 90% of all jobs are unregistered. Yet the impact of such informal economies on climate change has been largely ignored.

The international research project sees the collaboration of Wolfson's Ancient World Cluster with the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, the Louvre Museum in Paris, along with the University of Southampton, UCLA in California, and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin.

Dr Jacob Dahl said: 'I have spent the last ten years trying to decipher the proto-Elamite writing system and, with this new technology, I think we are finally on the point of making a breakthrough'.

The Trio gave a faultless performance of Brahms' Sonata for cello and piano in F major, opus 99 and Sonata for violin and piano in A major, opus 100 to the intimate and captivated audience who had braved the wintry conditions. Both sonatas, while very different in character, were written by Brahms in the summer of 1886, an especially creative time for him, spent in Switzerland beside Lake Thun.

The Development Office worked with a team of seven enthusiastic students and the Annual Giving Team at University Offices, whose support and dedication enabled them to reach hundreds of Wolfsonians over the two weeks.

The campaign began on 4^th January with a discussion of the objectives of the College and the wider University, and training on the calling software to contact as many alumni and friends as possible. The response was wonderful. Many of the Wolfsonians contacted contributed to the Annual Fund and shared some fascinating stories.

This was to mark the publication of the 100^th volume of translations into English of works by commentators on Aristotle and other related late ancient philosophical works by the Ancient Commentators on Aristotle project, under the direction of Wolfson Honorary Fellow Professor Richard Sorabji.
