What is the BIBA Conference and why is it such a crucial event on the insurance industry calendar? To what extent are skills from external industries transferrable into insurance careers? How can the mobility of such external skills into insurance roles be better communicated in the current recruitment landscape? In this episode, we're very pleased to be speaking with Emma Chapman, Head of Conference at BIBA. This year's BIBA Conference held in Manchester in May attracted 9000 people across two days. The event aims to unite brokers, insurers, and the wider insurance community to do business, establish and build relationships, and much more. In conversation with Sandra Lewin, Emma discusses how her background in theatre has informed her decision-making in curating and arranging the annual conference over the past eight years. As such, she is a testament to the transferability of skills from seemingly unrelated industries into the wide array of roles available in insurance.   Quote of the Episode “You go to conferences for so many reasons. Number one is to do business, we know that. Fundamentally, people say [that, at BIBA,] they get a month's worth of business done in two days. Brilliant. But what else can you get?” The BIBA Conference is, first and foremost, a springboard for networking, bolstering existing business relationships and fostering new ones. Yet, in a post-COVID landscape in which many people have hybrid work schedules and a more intertwined work-life balance, it is harder to entice people to attend these events. BIBA's first in-person conference after the pandemic was in 2022, and it was a huge success, which can largely be attributed to people's glee at being able to attend such events and network face-to-face. In 2023, Emma and her team faced a challenge of how to improve upon this warm reception, now that hybrid working patterns are seemingly here to stay. They decided to bring a flavour of fun and theatricality to the conference, with puppies available to cuddle at a Wellness Zone, and with a speech from Sir Mo Farah.   Key Takeaways Emma studied a Drama and Theatre Studies degree at Exeter, and went into Stage Management in the West End. After several successful years managing a variety of big productions, she sought a change and became involved in event organising, eventually working for BIBA via an agency before being invited to arrange the conference in-house post-pandemic. Theatre and insurance are undoubtedly very different industries, but Emma's role at BIBA entails a need to put on a spectacle for conference attendees. She argues that her theatre background has significantly informed her work at BIBA, emphasising that if and when you do decide to switch roles or even industries into insurance, your past experience will always be beneficial in one way or another. You should never consider your previous working roles or plans as a barrier to entry or transition within the industry. Emma's daily work at BIBA is extremely varied, but it is ultimately founded upon building and maintaining mutually beneficial business relationships, organisation, and an ability to meet deadlines – all skills she developed in her previous career which are transferrable to and crucial in an insurance career. Indeed, Emma suggests that taking skills from external and ostensibly unrelated industries into insurance is extremely beneficial to ensure a consistent inflow of fresh ideas and perspectives. Emma argues that we must actively combat the common misconception that insurance careers are boring, noting that she's never had an uninteresting day on the job. She emphasises that insurance is something which everyone must experience and engage with from a client perspective. As such, irrespective of which industry one initially works in, everyone is in a strong position to contribute ideas to insurance, as every year, we all have to purchase or renew car insurance, home insurance, life insurance, and so on.   Best Moments/Key Quotes “Because we now live in a semi hybrid world, it takes even more to get people out of their homes. You have to deliver something that you cannot get at home, more so than when everyone was in offices, because everyone was always leaving their home. Everyone was always travelling; it was very easy to go to things after work.”   “What I love about my job is it's so varied. I mean, we organise literally everything to do with the exhibition… So, my day could be, depending on where we are on the lifecycle of the event, it could be signing off on social media, ordering 1000s of chairs, approving budget, briefing contractors, sorting out the advertising, paying for things, booking things. It's a real smorgasbord of things. And that's why I love what I do so much.”   “If you spent some time understanding the insurance industry, you could be an excellent addition, [if you] come with outside ideas. That's what I'm always passionate about: there are these transferable skills in so many different career choices.”   “For example, as an event organiser, someone who does event organising for a pharmaceutical company, something totally different to insurance, but because you are still organising a live event, an engaging thing for delegates, you still need to listen to the feedback, and work out whether what you're giving is what people actually want to receive. They would come with amazing ideas, and vice versa. There almost needs to be this give and take between industries, so that you constantly have fresh ideas coming.”   Resources BIBA – The BIBA Conference wins Best Association Event Award: https://www.biba.org.uk/press-releases/the-biba-conference-wins-best-association-event-award/   About the Guest Emma Chapman is the Head of Conference at BIBA (British Insurance Brokers' Association), leading a team who organises its annual conference.

No matter how many galaxies astrophysicists can see, when it comes to understanding the early days of the universe they are still in the dark. Emma Chapman is a Royal Society research fellow at the University of Nottingham. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the 100 million years missing from the timeline of the universe, and efforts to uncover the secrets of the stars. Her book is “First Light: Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time.”

In the history of science, many individuals are honoured by having technical terms named after them. To modern sensibilities, this is sometimes regrettable. Poet Dr Sam Illingworth looks at the challenges of scientific terms named after people we perhaps wouldn't celebrate today. Who gets to choose them anyway? It's one thing to quietly change the name of a scientific prize, a research facility or a lecture theatre. But how would you rename an element or a famous equation? With a book, a record or a painting we can choose to leave them on the shelf if we so wish, but some scientific names seem as hard-wearing as concrete...

In this episode, we turn back time to the moment known as cosmic dawn ready to understand the first stars and how they changed the Universe. A guiding light in this journey is Dr Emma Chapman, author of the book First Light.

First Light Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time by Emma Chapman tells the story of the first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of and tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today. Emma Chapman a Royal Society research fellow and fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, based at Imperial College London incorporates the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this booksheds light on a time of darkness, telling the story of stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Join us when Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.

Have you missed the interpersonal connections which are so integral to the insurance industry over the past two years? Are you keen to get more involved in the industry community, or to reaffirm the connections you once had prior to the pandemic? In this episode of the Insurance Brokers' Podcast, we are thrilled to be speaking with Emma Chapman, Head of Conference at BIBA, who is leading the team responsible for organising this year's in-person event! In conversation with Boston Tullis' Sarah Myerscough, she explains what attendees can look forward to at this year's conference, what we should expect to get out of it, and the opportunities available for new brokers and young people looking to enter the industry. The BIBA Conference will be held on 11th – 12th May 2022 in Manchester.   Quote of the Episode “Our theme this year is our insurance community. We really wanted to capture that feeling of reconnecting and coming together; the industry reuniting after all this time. BIBA is the place for that. We're proud to lead in that area and be the biggest event for the broking community in the UK.” The past few years have undoubtedly been a transitional period for the insurance industry. Now that the country is finally beginning to recover and re-emerge from COVID regulations, this is an optimum time for the broking community to reconvene and reunite. As Emma explains throughout the episode, this year's BIBA Conference offers an array of great networking opportunities for attendees to form new connections with other delegates, and perhaps also to bolster ties with brokers which may have been somewhat impaired by the necessity of virtual work over the course of the pandemic.   Key Takeaways Big numbers are expected to attend the BIBA conference this year! In the episode, Emma notes that in 2019, 5000 brokers were in attendance, and a similar amount are expected to attend this year. This highlights the great opportunity that this event represents to reinvigorate the brokering community which has been greatly impacted by the restrictions of the pandemic. As Emma notes, insurance is a ‘personable business', and as such, the ability to network in person, which hasn't been possible for so long, will be incredibly valuable this year. The industry is only as strong as the community which constitutes it. The ability to build connections between firms through in-person interaction is the best way to sustain the strength of this community, as it will always work better with unity and personable interaction. Therefore, Emma suggests that delegates should take this year's conference as a significant opportunity to build new connections with other brokers, or reaffirm pre-existing ones. If you are keen to attend this year's conference, please be sure to download the BIBA app. It will be available to download in a few weeks' time, and will serve as your primary guide to the conference, both in navigating the floorplan and maintaining your schedule. Additionally, a key part of this year's conference will be the Young Broker Day. The restrictions of the past two years have been particularly difficult, Emma suggests, for young people who may have only just entered the insurance industry prior to lockdown, or indeed those who joined while the working world was primarily virtual. This is particularly difficult in an industry which is so heavily reliant on interpersonal communication. As such, Young Broker Day offers a range of networking opportunities for new industry entrants to form connections and broaden their understanding of the insurance world. Young Broker Day has also been opened out for the first time to local students, providing a fantastic opportunity for those considering a career in insurance, or even those who may not believe insurance is a viable career for them, to learn about the prospects it offers and network with prominent industry figures. Boston Tullis' own Sarah Myerscough will be attending this year's conference as a reporter for BIBA! If you spot her at the event, please come and have a chat! If you have any questions/queries about the conference, don't hesitate to get in contact with Emma or Sarah – their LinkedIn profiles are linked below!   Best Moments/Key Quotes “The exhibition will have 200 plus exhibitors, they're all with their staff who are desperate to talk to people. This is quite a personable industry really, when you think about it, and to be able to do business, and get deals done, and network in-person is so important to this to the thriving of this industry.” “What I would like people to come away with thinking is that they have made some real worthwhile, longstanding new connections, and perhaps bolstered the ones that they already had with people in the exhibition hall, whether they're insurers, or providers, or other brokers.” “I think that the set of people that have most struggled over the two years is actually the younger generation, the ones who have just got into the industry. Maybe they're in their first job, or they got it the year before. And then suddenly, that's it, they were taken away from the office, where you learn so much from your colleagues.”   Resources The Biba Conference: https://thebibaconference.org.uk/    About the Guest Emma Chapman is the Head of Conference at BIBA (British Insurance Brokers' Association).

They also discuss state-of-the-art telescopes that will let us peer into the past as scientists search for the echoes and footprints of these stars and more.

This month, Izzie and Dr Becky are shining a light on the first stars in the Universe. When did they form? And could any still exist today? Plus, they explore the life of Cecelia Payne Gaposchkin, the astrophysicist who discovered the structure of stars, and Dr Robert Massey joins them to discuss the latest NASA rover on Mars. With special thanks to Dr Emma Chapman from Imperial College London, author of First Light, and Donovan Moore, author of What Stars Are Made Of: The Life of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin.The Supermassive Podcast is a Boffin Media Production by Izzie Clarke and Richard Hollingham. 

Nobody could have failed to notice the one story dominating the science news this year - but what about the discoveries that have been overshadowed in 2020? This week, Dr Adam Rutherford eschews all mentions of the pandemic as he invites dinosaur researcher Dr Susie Maidment, climate scientist Dr Tamsin Edwards and astrophysicist Dr Emma Chapman to share their science highlights of the year. We journey to the moon and beyond to discuss the many missions that have been blasting and grabbing bits of space rock to bring back to earth and tackle the ongoing debate about whether signs of life have been found on Venus. Back down on earth, this year could be one of, if not the, hottest years on record, with particularly high temperatures in the Arctic Circle. What might a warming world mean for ice-shelf collapse in Antarctica and how are governments responding? We discuss Joe Biden’s presidency, UK carbon emissions and what China’s recent announcements of net zero by 2060 might mean for the future of the planet. And despite limitations on travel this past year, exciting discoveries in the dinosaur world have nonetheless continued with what is believed to be the first aquatic dinosaur. The detection of soft shell eggs is also changing understandings of how dinosaurs reared their offspring. And if that wasn’t enough, Dr Adam Rutherford challenges our experts to predict what big science stories might lie on the horizon in 2021.

Fascinating and enjoyable interview with Astrophysicist Emma Chapman about why we are in exciting times for astrophysics and learning more about the universe and our origins. Emma Chapman is a Royal Society research fellow and fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society, based at Imperial College London. She is among the world's leading researchers in search of the first stars to exist in our Universe, 13 billion years ago, and she is involved in both the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) in the Netherlands and the forthcoming Square Kilometre Array (SKA) in Australia, a telescope that will eventually consist of a million antennas pointing skywards in the desert. Emma has been the recipient of multiple commendations and prizes, the most recent of which was both the 2018 Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Research Fellowship and STFC Ernest Rutherford Fellowship, two of the most prestigious science fellowships in the UK. She won the Institute of Physics Jocelyn Bell Burnell Prize in 2014, and was runner-up for the UK L'Oreal Women in Science award in 2017. In 2018 she was also the recipient of the Royal Society Athena Medal. Emma is a respected public commentator on astrophysical matters, contributing to the Guardian, appearing on BBC radio and regularly speaking at public events. Among others, she has spoken at Cheltenham Science Festival, the European Open Science Forum and at New Scientist Live.

The universe is big - really big. So big in fact that it is difficult to really comprehend the scale of it all and our insignificant place within it. But despite our size we actually know quite a lot about the first moments of the universe and how they played out. As for the next billion years after that...not so much.

Last weekend a joint European-US satellite blasted into space to begin its mission - monitoring the oceans back here on earth. Sentinel 6 Michael Freilich is one of a long line of satellites and has a striking design – appearing like a bright gold farmyard barn with a big pitched roof. Anand Jagatia speaks to Dr Ralph Cordey at Airbus Space and Defence about the latest design iteration and the technology on-board. Oceanographer Professor Penny Holiday from the National Oceanography Centre explains how Sentinel 6’s readings will enhance understanding of sea-level rises and give more detail about the currents in our oceans. We journey back to the cosmic ‘Dark Ages’, a period of time that we know hardly anything about. Dr Emma Chapman is an astrophysicist at Imperial College London who has written a book ‘First Light: Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time’ to throw light on this illusive chapter in the history of our universe. How close are scientists to finding the first stars? With ambitious new government targets to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2030 how ready are electric cars to fill the gap? One key area many companies are trying to improve are the batteries powering electric vehicles. Peter Bruce, professor of materials science from Oxford University and chief scientist at the Faraday Institution has been working on rechargeable lithium ion energy storage since the 1990s. He speaks with Anand about the current limitations and the most recent developments in battery research and development. Presented by Anand Jagatia Produced by Melanie Brown

Published: 26-11-2020, Review of First Light, Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time, by Emma Chapman. Available from Bloomsbury here. Astronomers have successfully observed a great deal of the Universe’s history, from recording the afterglow of the Big Bang to imaging thousands of galaxies, and even to visualising an actual black hole. There’s a lot for astronomers to be smug about. But when it comes to understanding how the Universe began and grew up we are literally in the dark ages. In effect, we are missing the first one billion years from the timeline of the Universe. This brief but far-reaching period in the Universe’s history, known to astrophysicists as the ‘Epoch of Reionisation’, represents the start of the cosmos as we experience it today. The time when the very first stars burst into life, when darkness gave way to light. After hundreds of millions of years of dark, uneventful expansion, one by the one these stars suddenly came into being. This was the point at which the chaos of the Big Bang first began to yield to the order of galaxies, black holes and stars, kick-starting the pathway to planets, to comets, to moons, and to life itself. Incorporating the very latest research into this branch of astrophysics, this book sheds light on this time of darkness, telling the story of these first stars, hundreds of times the size of the Sun and a million times brighter, lonely giants that lived fast and died young in powerful explosions that seeded the Universe with the heavy elements that we are made of. Emma Chapman tells us how these stars formed, why they were so unusual, and what they can teach us about the Universe today. She also offers a first-hand look at the immense telescopes about to come on line to peer into the past, searching for the echoes and footprints of these stars, to take this period in the Universe’s history from the realm of theoretical physics towards the wonder of observational astronomy. First Light Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time, by Emma Chapman, reviewed In many ways this book is a primer for the things we are about to learn. The James Web Space Telescope is due to go into space in 2021, and could, potentially, massively expand our understanding of the universe and how it works. Though, when Hubble was launched, it then required subsequent repairs and updates to fix some initial teething problems, so it is probably wise not to take anything for granted until it is actually up there, working, and sending back the data. Chapman’s book does do a good job of preparing us for what we might be able to discover, and to give us a context for how far we have come already. We also have to come to terms with the slightly paradoxical concept that the better our space telescopes, the further back into time we see. Anything we learn or observe, will be based on things that happened millions or even billions of years ago, and therefore any potential civilisations may have flourished and died out long long ago. We live in interesting and exciting times and if this book helps to inspire even more people to look towards the skies, especially with all the potential new discoveries ahead of us, then this will have been a successful effort. Dr Emma Chapman tweeted: I’m telling you, the first stars were the best stars! And if you don’t believe me, feel free to pre-order my book on the subject! , and quoted Royal Astronomical Society tweeting: Scientists find that the production of stars in the universe as a whole has been continuously declining over the past 11 billion years, being 30 times lower today than at its likely peak Dr. David Sobral #bicentrivia Image credit: NOAO/AURA/NSF/N.

Emma’s sister, Elsie created a scrapbooking blog/website because she liked scrapbooking. Along the way, Emma came on board and their website A Beautiful Mess grew into a force that now has apps, books, fashion, and more under the umbrella. They get about 1.5 million unique visitors a month to the website. Emma is part entrepreneur, part influencer, and part creative, she sat down to talk about the journey they’ve been on creating a lifestyle brand.

Today is our 50th episode! I am also SO pleased that for this milestone I’m joined by a woman that I am honoured to call a friend, someone that I’ve known for a very long time and whose career has taken a number of twists and turns, with huge success along the way. Emma Mosey grew up in Cheshire and considered herself a country girl, although as she herself would tell you, that might be slightly open to debate. After studying English at the University of Edinburgh and a Masters in creative writing at Royal Holloway in London, her first novel, How To Be A Good Wife, was published in 2013 to significant critical acclaim, including from Dame Hilary Mantel who regarded it as “an accomplished debut from a writer who shows insight and emotional power”. But since the publication of her second novel, The Last Photograph, in 2016, Emma's career has taken a very distinct swerve. Having never been a what she refers to as a ‘real’ farm before meeting her in-laws, and unused to the vagaries of a life in the agricultural sector, Em has now - for the time being at least - put down her pen and donned her wellies. She is now the co-owner of a free range poultry farm, where her 6,000 hens lay eggs to be sold in the farm shop, Minskip, she runs with Ben, and will soon be cooked into dishes in the first egg-centred restaurant on an egg-producing farm. It's been quite the fortnight for her too - last week she and her team won three awards, including Best Rural Retail Business and Best Farm Shop, and this week she spoke at the Women in Farming Conference on her transition to farming life.  Where to find Emma: Website - https://minskipfarmshop.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/minskipfarmshop/  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/minskipfarmshop/  Emma writes under her maiden name, Emma Chapman, and you can find her work here: http://emmajchapman.com  Follow us for more: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smashingtheceiling/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/smashingceiling Facebook: www.facebook.com/smashingtheceiling  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-mellor-171550150/     

Today’s episode addresses the increasingly contentious and much-discussed issue of non-disclosure agreements in terminations for sexual misconduct. NDAs, as they are known, are sometimes justified as being in the interests of the victim – in fact, as the first part of this podcast reveals in a discussion with Julie on the defamation case against her, NDAs are commonly used by universities to quietly “pass-the-trash” to other schools, which then hire persons fired for sexual harassment and other misconduct with no knowledge of their history. Moreover, victims are sometimes pressured to sign an NDA as a “gag”, as the story of Dr. Emma Chapman, an astrophysicist at Imperial College London, and a member of the UK-based 1752 advocacy group, illustrates. Finally, Julie talks to Connor Spencer, chair of the national student group lobbying to address sexual violence cover-ups in universities across Canada, about how students view NDAs. This episode is being released on the day of a court hearing in Julie’s case against the University of Windsor insurer. Julie is presently being represented pro bono by the wonderful Natalie MacDonald.

The sun still has many mysterious properties. The Parker Solar Probe, launched next week will be the closest a spacecraft has ever flown to our star. It's a mission that's been on the drawing board for decades which space scientists have only dreamt of. It will fly into the mysterious solar corona, where so much of the action at 3 million degrees centigrade takes place. Nicola Fox from Johns Hopkins University is the Parker Probe Project Scientist. Adam Rutherford speaks to her from Cape Canaveral, where they are making the final adjustments for the most ambitious journey ever, to the Sun. We meet two scientists who are making a real difference in promoting diversity and equality in the lab. Physicist Jess Wade has been chipping away at this issue, most recently in a heroic project to write up a Wikipedia entry for a scientist who is also a woman every day for the last 270 days and counting. Emma Chapman is an astrophysicist, and last month won the prestigious Royal Society Athena Prize for her work in driving policy changes about sexual harassment at universities. Today the shortlist of the most prestigious of the literary prizes for the sciences was announced - the Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize. This is the 31st prize, and previous winners are a who's who in truly great science writing. Frances Ashcroft, Professor of Physiology at Oxford is the chair of the judges and discusses the books they have selected. Physicist Helen Czerski and 40 colleagues are now aboard the Oden, a Swedish icebreaker and scientific research vessel that set sail earlier this week. They are en route to spend a month anchored to arctic sea ice to elucidate the mysterious behaviour of arctic weather. Before she set off she gave Adam Rutherford a preview of the research trip.

We are all guilty of making instant unconscious decisions about other people. Could a greater awareness and a practical approach help to overcome this common hurdle at work? Claudia Hammond hosts a special edition recorded live in front of an audience at the Royal Institution in London to discuss something that happens to all of us - when our minds make snap judgments about other people without us even realising it. It's known as unconscious bias - it doesn't mean bias in any deliberate way. The whole point is that we don't even know it's happening. How does it play out in real life? Claudia Hammond is joined by a panel of experts to discuss what effect the bias in our decision making has on the lives of each and every one of us and what we can do about it Taking part are business psychologist Binna Kandola; Jessica Rowson, from the Institute of Physics who's been examining why more girls don't choose to study physics at school; Emma Chapman, a Royal Astronomical Society fellow; and Louise Archer, Professor of Sociology of Education at King's College London.
