Please join us on Friday 19 June 2009 from 10:30am for an event with
Steven Shapin, Harvard historian of science and author of /The
Scientific Life.
/
It’s easy to forget that Darwin was an amateur. Compared with a hundred
or even fifty years ago, contemporary, professional science looks very
different. What does it mean to be a scientist in the 21^st Century? Are
scientists still driven by curiosity and a desire to make the world a
better place? How different is university science from corporate
science? What does this mean for how we support and regulate scientific
research?
Steven will be joined by neuroscientist Mark Lythgoe and James Wilsdon,
director of the Royal Society Science Policy Centre.
