Stem Cells - the Hope and the Hype

Part of National Science and Engineering Week - Engaging with a Scientist

This talk will highlight new developments around the emerging field of stem cells with an opportunity to have an ethical and moral debate on the implications of these developments. No prior knowledge or understanding of stem cells is expected as the science underlying the subject will be presented in layman’s terms.

This event has been funded by the generosity of a grant from the Scottish Government and the British Science Association.
