Dear All,
Some of you may recall that Prof. Sarah Franklin was awarded the Wilkins-Bernal-Medawar Medal and Lecture in 2023, for her research into, and advocacy for, the social aspects of new reproductive technologies. Said lecture will be on Thursday 9th May 2024 at 18:30-19:30 (BST). The lecture is open for public attendance at the Royal Society in Central London, and will be live streamed. The lecture will also be available on the RS YouTube channel after the event.
Registration to attend or watch the event is now live. The following link can be used to register: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/talking-embryos-changing-public-perceptions-of-embryo-research-tickets-877822640147?aff=oddtdtcreator.
Prof. Franklin's lecture will be on ‘Talking Embryos: changing public perceptions of embryo research’. The lecture will closely examine the evolution of public debate in the UK over embryo research since the 1980s and will identify specific causal factors that have shifted public opinion, focussing on how we might characterise these changes sociologically. In turn, the lecture will argue for a closer relationship between translational biological research and the social sciences, and further, that the interdisciplinary study of IVF offers a unique opportunity to achieve this goal.
I look forward to seeing anyone attending in person there.
With best wishes,
Amarpreet
