SUMMARY:Evidence based policy making: How can government be an intelligent
  user of science? - Dr. Mils Parker

DESCRIPTION:This question was addressed by the Central Policy Review Staff
  – Edward Heath's 'Think Tank' – in the early 1970s. The resulting Rot
 hschild Report\, named after its Chairman\, established the paradigm for r
 elations between government policy makers and the science community to thi
 s day. My thesis is that Rothschild’s ideas were fundamentally erroneous
 . I will explore the report's conclusions\, their application\, and their 
 subsequent modification (including the impact of the Phillips Inquiry) and
  present an alternative approach\, and what it would mean for Government a
 nd for academia.\n\nThere will be a drinks reception at Darwin College aft
 er the talk. Please register for the talk and the reception here: http://w
