TRUST ME, I'M A SCIENTIST
A panel discussion on scientists and public policy
MONDAY 3 DECEMBER 2012, 6PM
Wills Memorial Building, Queens Road, BS8 1RJ
Publicly funded scientific research is inevitably influenced by Government priorities and scientific research continually raises questions about the viability of current policy. Meanwhile, funding bodies are increasingly committed to leading and directing research in the sciences, framing its questions and targeting funds at 'key areas'.
This panel brings together eminent academics, scientific advisers, and those involved in policy-making to share insights into how science and scientists respond to – or remain detached from – the public policy that surrounds their work.
