This is a **theatre** and **livestream** talk from the **Royal Institution of Great Britain.** Join Mathematician and Healthcare Engineer Becky Shipley as she explains how mathematical modelling is driving innovation in the NHS and beyond.. **ADVANCE BOOKING AND PAYMENT IS REQUIRED FOR THIS TALK.** **More details and booking instructions on the RI web site:** **[https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/discourse-mathematical-tools-transform-world](https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/discourse-mathematical-tools-transform-world)** **SUMMARY** Mathematics is a powerful tool to understand the world around us. It can model the physics, chemistry and biology of a wide variety of systems. But it can also be used to make predictions that can feed into technology, manufacturing and engineering across an array of fields. In our first Discourse of 2026, mathematician and expert in computational modelling **Becky Shipley** explores how mathematics is inspiring new advances across engineering industries. Drawing on her experience in healthcare, she'll visit case studies showing how mathematical problem-solving is improving diagnosis, treatment and patient experience, alongside the newest applications of mathematics. Discover how multidisciplinary engineering principles led to the rapid development of novel medical devices during the COVID-19 pandemic, thanks to an internationally recognised team led by Becky herself. This is a theatre and livestream event for an adult audience, where the speakers and audience in our Theatre are joined by our audience online. **The livestream will go live around 7.10pm, and the talk will begin at 7.30pm.

**By popular demand, on Friday 30th January - we’re really excited to be hosting our latest Silent Disco Party, exclusively for 20s and 30s.** Yep that’s right - over the last few months, we've had a number of requests for another of these parties and so it's back! To start the night in style, we've booked out an area at a nearby pub in Fenchurch Street to give you chance to grab a drink and get to know some of our community a little better. When you've had chance to loosen up for the night ahead, we'll then be heading to our very own **Silent Disco Party**, exclusively for our community. If you’ve never been to a silent disco, think of it as an amazing club night… with the same energy, dancing, and fantastic music, but with a twist. Instead of the music being controlled by a single DJ, everyone will receive their own personal set of wireless headphones and you'll have 3 channels to choose from, giving you complete control over the music and the volume! But these aren't generic music channels, as they'll be controlled by our resident DJ team - who'll be up against one another in an epic **"Battle of the DJs".** Each have prepared a playlist of some of the very best tunes, from club anthems, pop classics and epic party mixes, all designed to win your attention and get you dancing. And best of all, whilst silent discos that take place in the capital can cost over £30, we've managed to secure an amazing deal, so that you can enjoy this whole night of **amazing music and great company for just £4.85!** It’s sure to be an unforgettable night, so dust off your dancing shoes and join us for this! **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **WHERE/WHEN** Starting Pub - Tank & Paddle Minster Court, 3 Mincing Ln., Minster Ct, London EC3R 7AA ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/aAuZXKnw4XU7DLA3A](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aAuZXKnw4XU7DLA3A)) Closest Tube stations: Fenchurch Street (5 min walk), Tower Hill (10 min walk), Bank (10 min walk) Start Time - 7:00PM Finish time: 11:45PM **\- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \-** **JOIN THE COMMUNITY** Set up in November 2021, our community project was set up to help 20s and 30s in London meet, connect and hopefully build life-long friendships. To help make this happen, we also host all kinds of events from free social walks, games evenings, day trips, social events, activity nights to picnics.

Join us on **Saturday 31st January** at **[Handel Hendrix House](https://handelhendrix.org)**, near Bond Street, to step inside the London homes of two musical legends. This beautifully restored house on Brook Street celebrates the lives and music of **George Frideric Handel**, who lived at 25 Brook Street from 1723 until his death in 1759, and **Jimi Hendrix**, who moved into the adjoining flat at 23 Brook Street in 1968. The museum presents Handel’s home as he would have known it, and the bedroom of Jimi’s flat recreated as closely as possible using historical photographs and the personal testimony of those who knew him at the time. There are also immersive exhibitions exploring: 🎻 Handel’s music and the musicians he worked with 🎸 Jimi Hendrix’s life and musical legacy ⏳ London in the 18th century and the 1960s ✨ The extraordinary cultural worlds these two artists shaped From Baroque to rock, Handel Hendrix House is a unique testament to two artists who chose London as their home, and changed music forever.

Dale Gnidovec, Curator of the Orton Hall Museum of Geology at The Ohio State University, will be presenting a program he has wanted to share with us for a long time: Plate Tectonics. His description of his program: Continents on the move - Nothing in Earth history makes sense without moving continents - it tells us why mountains, volcanoes, minerals, and fossils are where they are. This talk examines the evidence for continental drift, why it was disbelieved, and explains how the more-encompassing theory of plate tectonics was developed and eventually proven. Dale is an energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and very entertaining speaker and this will be another wonderful program by Dale. Hope to see you there! Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid.

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics.

Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
