In the late 18th Century, a small group of scientists gathered in Birmingham to form the Lunar Society. Their vision changed the face of the world.
Today’s inheritor’s of this vision – over 80 medics, life scientists, engineers, chemists, computer and digital media scientists, environmental and energy experts – have combined in The New Optimists to share their view of the world and what the future holds.
The New Optimists takes us on an exhilarating journey into the minds of some of the UK’s leading scientists, and revela just how much is happening in our research centres and universities, driving towards the common good.
Panel discussion featuring endoctrinologist Prof Chris McCabe, immune cell biologist Prof Janet Lord and Deputy Director of the Centre for Forensic Linguistics, Dr Tim Grant. Nick Booth is in the chair.
