Abstract
THE Association of Scientific Workers is holding a Conference on "Science in Peace"on February 17–18 at the Caxton Hall, Westminster. The Conference is being organized in three sessions. The first, on Saturday afternoon, will deal with ways of securing an expanding economy and full employment. The problems of the effects of science on the productivity of labour will be introduced by a member of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, and specialists in each field will discuss in detail how science can be used to develop the basic British industries. The second session will deal with the more internal problems of science. The needs of fundamental research, and of applied science and technology will be dealt with, and papers will be read on the training of scientific workers, the organization and finance of science and information services. The third session will deal with the way in which science can affect the everyday life of each individual. The topics to be covered are research into consumer needs, health, food and agriculture, building and homes, and the place of science in culture. Tickets for the Conference (5s. for the three sessions, 2s. 6d. per session) and further information can be obtained from Mrs. B. Ryerson, Association of Scientific Workers, Hanover House, High Holborn, W.C.1.
