We need to know by 5.30 today (25 April) if we have enough participants to go ahead with this meeting, if you would like to come, call or e-mail Keith Lowry at the Foundation or me as STEMPRA Chair.
A copy of the original posting follows:-
STEMPRA and the Foundation for Science and Technology are organising a one-day meeting on 'The response of learned and professional societies to public attitudes to science', at the Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1 5AG on 2 May 2000. [...]45_25Apr200010:41:[log in to unmask] |

Scientists, Science Communicators, PUS specialists, and PR professionals
might consider the idea of building bridges, not only between the
public and science but between scientists themselves.
We look forward to the day when the science of 'Animal Experimentation' (AE)
is
one such subject where both the proponents and opponents are allowed a
hearing. But before that day bridges have to be built even between the
scientists . Obstacles such as government secrecy prevents freedom of speech
for the proponents of AE who would otherwise be allowed to offer some
validation of the industry. In turn this prevents other scientists who
oppose AE any inclusion in a debate because there is none. If scientists
themselves are not allowed freedom of debate and exchange of knowledge in
such an important and controversial area then how will the science in
medical research be communicated, how will it advance and how will the
public ever be allowed to
reach a genuinely informed opinion of the subject.
