CONTACT:Paul Ireland
DESCRIPTION:The past five decades have been characterised by spectacular s
 cientific advances\, spanning particle physics\, molecular biology and neu
 roscience. Yet some of the most 'basic' building blocks of biology\, the b
 rain and the biosphere remain poorly understood. What are some of the outs
 tanding _known unknowns_? What might be the key _unknown unknowns_ in some
  of the most important areas of science? Finally\, what might we need to d
 o differently in future to address them?\n\n*About the speaker*\n\nStephen
  Emmott is Head of Computational Science at Microsoft. He leads an interna
 tional\, interdisciplinary research programme and scientific team\, centre
 d on Microsoft's Computational Science Laboratory\, in Cambridge\, whose g
 oal is to make\, enable and accelerate transformational advances in scienc
 e in areas of societal importance. Stephen is also Visiting Professor of B
 iological Computation at University College London\, Visiting Professor of
  Computational Science at the University of Oxford\, and a Distinguished F
 ellow of the UK National Endowment for Science\, Technology and the Arts (
 Nesta).\n\n*Booking*\n\nBooking is essential as places are limited:\n\n"Bo
