Robert Winston1- white BG6th Annual Stoneley Lecture: 
‘Uncertainty: Is Technology the Solution?’
With Professor Robert Winston

Central Hall Westminster, London
Tuesday 8 March 2016, 6pm

Professor Winston will explore the universality of science, and how many of the issues of scientific responsibility present in biology are likewise relevant to earth sciences and the petroleum industry. He will focus on the concept of scientific literacy; the scientist’s responsibility to engage the public, countered with society’s responsibility to be aware of science.

He will be joined by a panel of PESGB Past Presidents; Professor Jon Gluyas, Dean of Knowledge Exchange at the University of Durham, and Steve Garrett, Manager of the Global Technology Centre at Chevron. They will relate examples of where technology has succeeded and failed with engaging the public in relation to the petroleum industry.
