It's reached the UK...You can catch it like a cold...Should we be worried? Since the end of February the media has been full of stories about Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS). So far, over 3000 people around the world have been infected with the so-called 'super spreader' virus which is a close cousin of the humble cold. Join Professor John Oxford of the Royal London Hospital and Professor Roy Anderson of Imperial College London to discuss the disease and its spread through the world and the media. Organised by the BA, sciBAr is open to anyone, there are no invitations and the evening is free except for what you spend on drink or food. Air your views or just listen to others, it's your regular pub debate just on a larger scale. Tuesday 29 April 18:30 The White Horse, Newburgh Street (just off Carnaby Street), London W1 Nearest tube: Oxford Circus 020 7973 3062, [log in to unmask] Nicholas Hillier Science Communication Officer the BA 23 Savile Row London W1S 2EZ T: +44 (0)20 7973 3064 F: +44 (0)20 7973 3063 Make sure you have your finger on the pulse.
