SUMMARY:Bovine TB and Badgers - the science behind the controversy - Donne
 lly\, C (Imperial College London)

CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:The stakes are high. Cattle TB is currently costing UK taxpaye
 rs 90 million a year to control. Badger culling\, as a method to control T
 B in cattle\, is highly controversial.  The science base relating to cattl
 e TB control is often misunderstood (sometimes wilfully). This talk will r
 eview the science and the UK policies as they stand today. When should a p
 olicy be called "science-based"?  And does "science-informed" policy deliv
 er what it appears to promise?\n >p>\nInvited discussant:\nProf. James Woo
 d (Cambridge)\, who will particularly address the issue of cattle controls
