Lord Robert Winston has brought science to the masses with his incredible television shows, The Human Body and A Child Of Our Time.
He's coming to Dundee to introduce us to the ideas in his new book, Bad Ideas? which once again brings science to the masses.
For every great invention, there is the equal possibility for that invention to be misapplied. That is the thesis of Robert Winston, professor of science and society at Imperial College, and he has plenty of evidence to back it up. Relativity gave us nuclear weapons as well as nuclear energy; antibiotics can kill just as easily as they can cure; and genetics raises the spectre of cloning and eugenics.
Join Lord Winston for a fascinating discussion of the ethics of innovation.
