Things to read?
Neurotribes: The Legacy of Autism and How to Think Smarter About People Who Think Differently. This book won the Samuel Johnson Prize for non-fiction this year - described as "a ground-breaking book that upends conventional thinking about autism and suggests a broader model for acceptance, understanding, and full participation in society for people who think differently."

If you have any suggestions of which books or type of books you would like to have access to electronically then now is the time to contact us and let us know.
Things about a famous Sheffield scientist
Many of you will have come across the 'Krebs cycle' either in your own studies or perhaps as a distant memory from school, perhaps one that you have had to dredge up from a dusty filing cabinet in your brain when helping your children with their revision! The cycle explains one of the most fundamental processes of life: the conversion of food into energy within a cell. Sir Hans Kreb (a German Jew who lost his post when Hitler came to power) was awarded a Nobel Prize in 1953 for this work which was done whilst he was working at the University of Sheffield. To mark this the University have put together a series of public events and exhibitions including talks from Nobel Prize winners - Krebfest - KrebsFest is open to everyone and it’s free. All venues are fully accessible. See the full details here
Things to warm you up
As the weather settles into typical November after a glorious October here is a beef goulash soup I made last weekend, for a large family party (age range 5 - 85), which fits the bill to warm you up, Cross between a soup and and a stew but my advice is to cut everything up in small pieces to make it more soupy. A caraway seed bread from Forge Bakehouse went with it very well
