List members may be interested in the following Royal Society lecture . . .
"Washing dirty lab coats on the page and the stage" by Professor Carl
Djerassi
The drive to publish first, the order of the authors and the choice of
journal; the collegiality and the brutal competition; grantsmanship; the
still existing glass ceiling for women; Schadenfreude, even Nobel lust -
these are the soul and baggage of contemporary science.
Carl Djerassi discusses his “science-in-fiction” novels and “science-in-
theatre” plays that reveal the idiosyncratic and sometimes brutal culture
of scientists and addresses the question what, if any, relation exists
between pure research and impure application or conduct?
Admission free - no ticket or advance booking required. Doors will open at
5.45pm and seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
