A colleague has told me about this
event tomorrow which some of you might be interested in attending.
Held at the Royal Institution of Great Britian the title of the lecture states:
'It's the scientists and the engineers who will ultimately develop and build the supply of clean energy we will need, the artificial organisms key to future biotech, and the robotics crucial to our growing strength in the space sector. But, young scientists are fed up with short term contracts, poor salaries and uncertain career progression. Do the 'great and the good' have their interests at heart?'
The Lecuture will be chaired by Dr Evan Harris – Director of Campaign for Evidence-based Policy and the Rt Hon David Willetts – Minster of State Minister for Universities and Science, and Dr Jenny Rohn, founder of Science is Vital, the Grassroots science campaigning group will also be on the panel.
This would be really interesting for those of you intersted in understanding what careers will look like in these fields going forward and what support is out there.
