The millennium lecture series. (360G-Wellcome-079180_Z_06_Z)

£680

The Millennium Lecture Series The Millennium Lecture Series has been running for six years. The lecture series usually comprises of around 10 lectures from prominent scientists and runs from October to May. These lectures are free to students and the general public. The aim is to promote awareness of various sciences to the community and schools. This year's lectures boast another set of excellent speakers, including two eminent popularisers of science, Philip Ball and Marcus du Sautoy, and a Nobel Prize winner (Jean-Marie Lehn). This year we are also pleased to say that we have two very distinguished speakers in the field of the medical biosciences, Professor Richard Evershed, from the University of Bristol, and Professor Anthony Campbell, of the University of Wales College of Medicine. Professor Evershed will be giving a lecture on bioarchaeology on 21st November 2005. Professor Campbell will be giving a lecture on deep sea bioluminescence and its application to modern medicine on 12th December 2005. In the following two years we hope to attract equally distinguished scientists in biomedicine. Past speakers have included Sir Alec Jeffreys, Lord Robert Winston and Frances Ashcroft. Overall, the lecture series provides insight into a variety of science areas and the issues surrounding them, and encourages a wide range of people from disparate areas to participate in discussion of scientific issues and appreciate how science can be both interesting and valuable to modern society.
