My name is Tytus Murphy, I am a second year PhD student at the Institute of Psychiatry where I am investigating the effects of ageing on stem cells in the brain. I like our planet very much, am also concerned about climate change and am one of the founding members of Fossil Free KCL. I am very keen to bring all the green groups together at King’s, as together we are stronger. I am also quite competitive when it comes to growing vegetables.
On Monday 9th June the inaugural meeting of the recently rejuvenated Environment Society (henceforth and affectionately known as “EcoSoc”) took place at the Strand Campus.
This open and well-attended meeting attracted a diverse range of effusive students, ranging from undergrads in English and Economics through to PhD students with projects in war-region conservation and neuroscience. The vision for EcoSoc is a beautiful merger of eclectic green-minded groups at KCL (Fossil Free, Urban Gardens Project, The Sustainability Forum and any other group/individual with a passion for the environment!), with the aim of enshrining an ecologically sensitive consciousness for many years the come.
In particular, many green groups have been and gone in the College’s recent history and we plan to stop this by creating a collaborative, diverse and enthusiastic group that will stand the test of time.
