I am doing a simple task in class, about sampling and stats. I want to get
as many people as possible to 
answer a quick question. 
Here it is
What is the first number between 1 and 10 that comes into your mind. 
Not hard science here but a bit of fun for the students.

People and the planet 
Report launch with a keynote speech from Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP,
Secretary of State for International 
Development    
Thursday 26 April 2012: 0830 to 1030hrs

A Royal Society report on global population, consumption and the
environment.

Please join us from 8.30am on Thursday 26 April 2012 for the launch of a
major policy report from the 
Royal Society.
Rapid and widespread changes in the world's human population, coupled with
unprecedented levels of 
consumption, present profound challenges to human health and wellbeing, and
to the natural 
environment. Although a lot is known about these linkages, they do not
feature prominently in 
international debates about sustainable development. In the run up to
Rio+20, the United Nations 
Conference on Sustainable Development, taking place this June, the Royal
Society offers this report; the 
result of a wide-ranging, international study.

The Chair of the Royal Society's international Working Group, Nobel
Laureate Sir John Sulston FRS, and 
three of the Working Group members will present the report's findings,
describe the challenges and the 
opportunities that such changes will present for people and the planet and
discuss the prospects for 
genuinely sustainable development. The Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP, Secretary
of State for International 
Development, will offer his thoughts on the importance of including
population in sustainable 
development discussions.

Speakers:
- Opening remarks from Sir Paul Nurse FRS, President of the Royal Society
- Sir John Sulston FRS, Chair, Royal Society People and the Planet Working
Group
- Rt Hon Andrew Mitchell MP, Secretary of State for International
Development
- Professor Sarah Harper, Director, Oxford Institute of Population Ageing,
University of Oxford
- Dr Eliya Zulu, Executive Director, African Institute for Development
Policy
- Professor Jules Pretty OBE, Deputy Vice-Chancellor, University of Essex

We hope you can join us for this event. Please arrive at the Royal Society
at 8.30am for light 
refreshments. The discussion will run from 9.00-10.30am. Please RSVP 
to [log in to unmask] by Friday 13 April.
