Our program is now online and we thought you might be interested to see what we’ve got planned for June: www.cheltenhamfestivals.com/science

In particular we thought the following event would tickle your fancy:

Geeks, Freaks and Egg Heads – Sunday 12 June
Everyone’s favourite, Quentin Cooper, asks why is the stereotype of a scientist still a white male, possibly bald, wearing a white lab coat and glasses? What we can do about it?

Or if you’re into ethical stuff:

The Ethics of Synthetic Biology – Wednesday 8 June
An extension of biology? Or playing God?

X-Men vs Bionic Women – Thursday 9 June
Can science and engineering make us better, better than we’ve ever been before?

It’s a Fair Game – Thursday 9 June
Are anti-doping regulations too strict? Will we ever be able to ensure a level playing field?

Top scientists to see:

Adrian Owen – Vegetative State
Kay Davies – About a Boy: a solitary X chromosome
Mark Walport – A Decade in Science
Brian Cox – Wonders of the Universe, The Infinite Monkey Cage
Alice Roberts – Are We Still Evolving?, The Art of Anatomy
