The New Chancellor of the University of Cambridge Installation Ceremony
Albert CardonaI've had the pleasure and the privilege to work side by side with Chris Smith when he was master of Pembroke college (he stepped down last year) for about 5 years, and, despite being a former politician, he means what he says.
@albertcardona Very encouraging to hear!
I've just been enjoying your #pembroke1347 posts, especially on the gardens full of flowers & new life in the spring:

This Spring I'm documenting the awakening of Pembroke College gardens in Cambridge, UK. Posts will touch on flowering plants, bushes and trees, and their visitors – largely bees, wasps, flies and butterflies, but also all other critters I happen to stumble upon. Aiming at one post per week. Posts will appear here: https://www.pem.cam.ac.uk/college/news/all First post: "The return of the queens" https://www.pem.cam.ac.uk/college/news/return-queens (March 13th, 2025).
