June Meeting

Hot on the heels of our May meeting is our meeting on the 8th of June with David Nutt (Time for science not nonsense to drive UK drug and alcohol policies?). Interest in this has been considerable. I strongly urge you to book early, via the General Office to avoid missing out.

Note that we welcome members to attend just for the talk. There is no charge for this.

Unfortunately, this talk clashes with the Media Group event with Tom Braby. Apologies to all who wanted to attend both events.

About Us

The Reform Club Science and Technology Group was formed in July 2006 by a group of Club members who felt that prompted by a sense that almost all contemporary issues have a scientific or technological dimension. Our first speaker was Baroness Susan Greenfield giving a talk to us entitled "Ageing and the Brain" on 6th February 2007.

The group’s focus is on the social and ethical implications of science and technology, rather than the complexities of the science itself. we aim to generate a high level of debate and dialogue, helping us all to get to grips with the real scientific issues behind the headlines we all see every day.

Speakers have come from all over the world, bringing a wide variety expertise. Unlike so many forums for debate, the Group benefits from a position of total independence from the scientific and political establishments, so that discussion about social and economic implications can be carried out in a spirit of open enquiry.
