    Judging Panel for 2021 Royal Society Science Book Prize Announced

    **For release Wednesday 21stJuly** JUDGING PANEL FOR 2021 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE ANNOUNCED “Science communication has always been very important, to entertain, inform and inspire. This has never been more relevant than this year.” – Professor Luke O’Neill #SciBooks The five-strong judging panel for this year’s Royal Society Science Book Prize, sponsored by Insight Investment, is revealed today, Wednesday 21st July 2021. The Prize – which celebrates the very best in popular science writing from around the world – will be chaired in 2021 by world-leading immunologist, presenter and writer, Professor Luke O’Neill FRS. He is joined on the panel by representatives from across the worlds of science and culture: television presenter, Ortis Deley; mathematician and Dorothy Hodgkin Royal Society Fellow, Dr Anastasia Kisil; author and creative writing lecturer, Christy Lefteri, and journalist, writer and film maker, Clive Myrie. For 33 years, the Prize has promoted the accessibility and joy of popular science writing. It has celebrated some truly game-changing reads: books that offer fresh insights on the things that affect the lives we lead and the decisions we make, from neurodiverse perspectives on everyday living (Explaining Humans by Dr Camilla Pang, 2020) to gender bias (Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, 2019) and the harms humans are wreaking on the planet (Adventures in the Anthropocene by Gaia Vince, 2015, and Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, 2008). In 2021, the judges renew their search for the most compelling science writing of the last year, at a time when the power of effective science communication is valued more highly than ever before.

    TRANSCRIPT A PINEWOOD DIALOGUE WITH MICHAEL MOORE Michael Moore is the most famous, controversial, and commercially successful documentary filmmaker working today. The notoriety surrounding his films has obscured the fact that he is a gifted director who uses a wide range of cinematic techniques to engage, entertain, and provoke his audience. Sicko , his widely acclaimed, no-holds barred attack on the American healthcare system, uses the issue of healthcare to explore larger questions about what kind of country America is. In this discussion presented by the Museum of the Moving Image in collaboration with Variety , Moore spoke passionately about the many questions raised by his film. A Pinewood Dialogue following a screening of this country and say to those on the other side of Sicko , moderated by Chief Curator David the political fence, “Look, aren’t there some issues Schwartz (June 28, 2007): where we can find some common ground and work together on this?

Later that day it emerged that the government group of scientific advisors (SAGE) had recommended a two week ‘circuit break’ lockdown. This was not taken up. On Tuesday, Kier Starmer called for the two week lockdown, a subtle change in his approach of constructive opposition on the virus. On Wednesday and Thursday, tensions between Westminster and English Mayors in the north of the country became apparent, with them resisting the call from the government to move into Tier 3.

    BBC Diverse Presenters The BBC is committed to finding and growing diverse onscreen talent across all channels and platforms. We realise that in order to continue making the BBC feel truly diverse, and improve on where we are at the moment, we need to let you know who’s out there. In this document you will find biographies for just some of the hugely talented people the BBC has already been working with and others who have made their mark elsewhere. It’s the responsibility of every person involved in BBC programme making to ask themselves whether what, and who, they are putting on screen reflects the world around them or just one section of society.
