2011 Cheltenham Science Festival



Tues 7th June - Sun 12th June



There are lots of great talks at this years festival (it's 10th anniversary.) Don't dismiss the Science Festival as 'just for scientists,' there are many talks that are directly relevant to students of philosophy, ethics and religion, including;



  • The Matrix: Reality or fiction?

  • Stem Cells

  • The Ethics of Synthetic Biology

  • Sci-Fi Engineering (FREE)

  • X Men and Bionic Women

  • Trangenic Animals

  • Was the Universe Created?

  • Saviour Siblings

  • Vegetative State

  • First Moments of Life

  • Intelligence of a Living Cell
Check out the brochure for more details, the talks are usually 1 hour, based at Cheltenhams Town Hall and reasonably prices.

These talks are a great way to enrich and vary your studies.

I am going to be on a panel at the Cheltenham Science Festival discussing the idea of fairness in sport - particularly around the issue of doping (drugs) in sport; an issue that is always cropping up and will undoubtedly do so again before the 2012 Olympics.

The session is called 'It's a Fair Game' and will be at the Town Hall on Thursday 9th June at 6.30pm.

If anyone wants to raise any questions beforehand then just drop me a line and I'll try to deal with them in my talk. I'll also be staying on afterwards if people want to chat some more.
