THIS EVENT HAS BEEN BOOKED OUT
How has 25 years of science communication created new relationships between scientific research, the societies that support this research, and the cultures in which is it embedded? How do we communicate difficult scientific concepts—like quantum computing, cancer research or synthetic biology? Can science communication spur us to action instead of despair about climate change?

Quantum Chemistry occupies the Fertile Crescent where Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Computer Science meet. Several Nobel Prize in Chemistry (1954, 1966, 1981, 1998, 2013) have been awarded for major advances in the field but a number of formidable theoretical and computational challenges remain unsolved.
World wide, unconstrained lava flows kill people almost each year and cause extensive damage, costing millions of pounds. Defending against lava flows is possible by using topographic variations sensibly, placing buildings considerately, constructing defending walls of appropriate size and the like.

Food waste occurs across the entire food supply chain from production on the farm, to consumption by customers.
Food waste costs families: between $2200 and $3800 a year—on average one in five shopping bags of food you purchase ends up in the bin.
