The Royal Society also has a number of interesting events which are free and no pre-booking required:
- 10 March, 18.30, A Short History of Nearly Everything (okay, it's not medicine but it is a public talk by Bill Bryson -- bound to be entertaining: doors open at 17.45, it's free and no pre-booking required)
- 14 March, 18.30, Do Scientists Need to Think More Deeply? by Colin Tudge (now wouldn't it be surprising if the answer turned out to be 'no')
- 17 March, 18.30, All's Well that Ends Well: telomeres, politics and family
- 21 March, 19.30, Stem Cells in the Spotlight
