HOSTED BY THE ROYAL SOCIETY
Join The Royal Society’s celebration of the best in popular science writing, as they announce the winner of this year's Royal Society Insight Investment Science Book Prize and speak to the authors of this year's shortlist.
Selected from more than 250 entries, this year's six shortlisted books explore the fascinating hidden worlds of the everyday. They range from the precision engineering and complex computing that makes modern life possible, to ground-breaking research into how our own brains and immune systems work. We’re also given a new appreciation for the lives of the animals that inhabit our world, and a re-conceptualization of the solutions, solvents and substances that make everything possible from life to flight.
The event will be hosted by Professor Brian Cox, who will discuss the influences and inspirations that have guided each writer, plus there'll be a chance for you to ask your own questions to the panel of authors.
