Uncertain Futures at Science Oxford

For the second year, Oxford Literary Festival is devoting a whole afternoon to a series of panel discussions around a common scientific theme. The theme for 2012 is “Uncertain Futures”. We still have much to learn about the nature of the Universe. And we continually set ourselves new questions about the impact that technology and social change will make on ourselves and on our environment. Through three panel discussions, this seminar will explore the question of how we deal with uncertainty in science.

The afternoon is chaired by science writer and author Georgina Ferry and has been developed in partnership with the University of Oxford’s Oxford Martin School, which supports 30 interdisciplinary research teams tackling global challenges, and with Science Oxford Live.

Suitable for 13+
