October RI cafe scientifique
On Monday I hosted this month’s Royal Institution Cafe Scientifique as usual. This month we had controversial Fern Elsdon-Baker talking about her book: “The Selfish Genius” which criticises the style and approach of Richard Dawkins in his presentation of evolution. Having worked with Richard I did my best to keep the discussion as balanced as I could; I must admit I was uncomfortable when discussions focussed more on personalities than on science.
This was the last RI cafe scientifique for a while. Hopefully we will return next year.
