People,

I’m giving a one day course on topics in science at the WEA on the 19th of June. Here’s the coverage :

What is the story behind global warming and the ozone hole? How are we placed for energy in the future? What are the future options for recycling? What is the significance of “trans fats” – and other developing ideas about nutrition and what is in our food? What do ideas recently developed from evolution (suchas those considered by Jared Diamond in his book “Guns, Germs and Steel”) and “brain wave scans” tell us about the nature of humanity and ethics? What will be the impact of developing technologies like biotechnology and nanotechnology? How will emerging technologies affect our ideas about copyright and intellectual property?
