Abstract
THE Division for the Social and International Relations of Science of the British Association is arranging a programme of meetings at which topics of immediate interest and importance will be discussed. The first of these meetings will be held on March 28 at the University of Reading, when two sessions will be devoted to a discussion on “SMilk in its Nutritional and Allied Aspects”. The chairmen of the sessions will be Sir Richard Gregory and Sir Daniel Hall. Other speakers will deal with deficiencies of diet, health aspects, pasteurization, production, cost, economic and social implications. It is also proposed to arrange meetings in the early summer in London and Manchester for review of the social relationships of science, and for discussion with special reference to pressing problems in industry and agriculture. In connexion with the Manchester meeting, Prof. H. Levy has been appointed to deliver the Alexander Pedler Memorial Lecture in which he will explain the method of approach in the study of the social problems of science, with particular illustrations of the application of scientific discoveries to industry. During the forthcoming meeting of the British Association hi Dundee (August 30–September 6), the Division will hold three sessions when it is proposed to consider the co-ordination of scientific research, population movements and nutrition. Sir Richard Gregory, chairman of the Division, and lately editor of NATURE, will deliver an address on “Science and Social Ethics”.
