This year’s event, hosted by Fisher Scientific, will include keynote speakers Ben Goldacre and Marcus Du Sautoy.
Joining a prestigious list of speakers that includes Professor Richard Dawkins and Professor Brian Cox, Ben Goldacre and Marcus Du Sautoy will be providing insight and inspiration to thousands of delegates.
Ben Goldacre, the bestselling author, will be a keynote speaker at the event for the first time this year.
He is the creator of ‘Bad Science’ and ‘Bad Pharma’, in which he scrutinises scientific claims made by scaremongering journalists and government reports and puts the global pharmaceutical industry under the microscope.
Marcus Du Sautoy, the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science and Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford, will also offer insight at the event.
He is best known for his titles: ‘The Music of the Primes’ and Finding Moonshine: a mathematician’s journey. He has also recently found acclaim with the BBC2 series ‘The Code’.
