Dear all,
The Royal Institution and five are pleased to offer subscribers to the
psci-com forum a pair of free tickets to the Headline Debate coming up on
15 June!
The Headline Debate series, a partnership between the Royal Institution
and five, is devoted to taking a closer look at the science currently
making news. An opinionated panel of leading scientists, politicians and
journalists come together for an evening of lively discussion and debate –
think of a science Question Time.
Award-winning broadcast journalist Sheena McDonald will lead the next
Headline Debate on Wednesday 15 June at 7.00pm at the Royal Institution.
For this event we’ve chosen to look at two scientific issues that have
been in the news because of their big impact on our future, and of course
are all the more controversial because of it – stem cell research and
nuclear power. Two eminent and outspoken scientists will be with us:
Alison Murdoch is a Professor of Reproductive Medicine at Newcastle
University, and recently announced the creation of Britain’s first cloned
human embryos. Professor Ian Fells is the chairman of the New and
Renewable Energy Centre and is a regular contributor to the debate on the
UK’s energy future. Joining them on the panel will be Robin McKie, science
editor of the Observer, and Robert Key MP.
Our audience will get the chance to quiz the panel members on these and
other topical science issues, so this is your chance to be part of a
lively evening of debate. If you would like to submit a question to the
panel, please email [log in to unmask] in advance.
The Headline Debate happens on 15 June 2005 at 7.00pm, and will be held at
the Royal Institution, 21 Albemarle Street, London W1.
To claim your free tickets, just call the Events Team at the Ri on 020
7409 2992 between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday.
Hope to see you all here next week!
