In 2021, this award was given to Dr Adam Rutherford for his contribution to strengthening public confidence in science through radio, TV, films, talks and books, and in particular, for challenging racist pseudoscience. The award is named after the United Kingdom’s best-loved naturalist and broadcaster, and honorary Fellow of the Royal Society, David Attenborough. The award, open to everyone, recognises high quality public engagement activities. The Royal Society David Attenborough Award and Lecture is awarded annually to an individual for outstanding public engagement with science. Adam will be arguing that scientists must know their own histories, and how Darwin's phrase 'ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge' should be a mantra for our times. In this talk, Dr Adam Rutherford will be exploring how the abuses in his own fields of evolution and genetics - by politicians, ideologues and by scientists themselves - were central to the most heinous crimes of modern history. All new discoveries exist in the culture in which they are born, and are always susceptible to abuse.
Though the scientific methods have been designed over the centuries to free our understanding of reality from the baggage of perceptive and psychological biases, and the grubby world of politics, it's an ideal we strive for, but have never achieved. Join us for the Royal Society David Attenborough Award Lecture 2021 given by Dr Adam Rutherford.Īll science is political.
