@cath_haddon @ifgevents Incidentally, I can't join that @ifgevents event due to leave but I'm hoping to catch it back. I sat on a US National Academies for Science committee with @donmoyn a few years ago.

[Rachel McCann @rmccannuk]

Just received an email for @ifgevents session where
@cath_haddon will be on the panel. As I'm receiving this my lunchtime reading is Peter Hennessey's incredible if sobering Secret State, he mentions work by one of his students Catherine Haddon. One and the same ?

@cath_haddon @ifgevents Amazing ! What an incredible academic group to have been a part of. My current role is connected to Civil Contingencies + my degree is history but some of the things I've read in this book are breathtaking
