I’m now the official host of the Royal Institution’s cafe scientifique. Each month on the third Monday we have a new speaker to chat to anyone who wants to come along. It’s a nice informal way for people to discuss science with some of the world’s leading experts in comfortable surroundings. Last Monday we had Prof Robert West, one of the governments advisors and world experts on education and medicine. He specialises on tobacco and described the ways that governments, health guidance, and education can save more lives than just medical care. The RI is preparing a recording of the event so I’ll link to it when it’s done. Next month we have Eve Mitleton-Kelly from LSE talking about complex systems.
