Professor Gurprit Lall, Old Roffensian, returned to King’s to deliver the latest in the Zetountes-Barton Society Lectures, speaking on his research on Circadian Neurobiology. Complimenting the school on its new science facilities, Professor Lall reminisced on his time at King’s, where his love of science was first developed.
The assembled audience of Academic Scholars, Sixth Form scientists and staff was fascinated by the talk, which examined sleep as part of a biological rhythm and explained how the brain is able to interpret environmental lighting signals.
Pupils were able to quiz Professor Lall, who is a Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Kent, as well as reflecting on how modern society often sees sleep as a problem, despite its vital restorative qualities.
