DESCRIPTION:followed by a wine reception\n\nMany discoveries in biology ar
 e made first in plants. Only very recently\, a class of small regulatory R
 NA strands common to many eucaryotes\, the siRNA\, was found. Some of thes
 e diverse RNA fragments are negative regulators of gene expression whereas
  others participate in more complex regulatory effects -- or even as part 
 of an RNA signal that moves between cells.\n\nIn his SciSoc Lecture\, Sir 
 David Baulcombe\, the co-discoverer of this much talked about RNA variety\
 , will describe how siRNA was discovered\, it's impact on the diagnosis an
 d treatment of disease\, and the role it plays in improving crop plants.\n
