Dr Melody Clark, Genomic Scientist
and Project Leader at the British
Antarctic Survey in Cambridge on
STEM skills and science funding.
Dr Clark joined the British Antarctic
Survey in August 2003 at the time very
little was known about the DNA of
Antarctic organisms
Panellists will discuss the future of
their field of science with illustrative
images and film extracts. Audience
questions will be gathered at the
start of the event and selected to put
forward to the panel.
This event will be chaired by Justin
Webb, radio presenter.
Our event start time allows you to
offer questions to the production
team before the debate and a range
of questions will be selected with the
proposers of these questions invited
to put their questions personally to
the panel.
Newton’s scientific discoveries have
affected our whole understanding
of science for centuries. This debate
looks into the future to discuss
the next big changes in how we
understand the world around us
and universe.
