Sitting in on the "Science and Society, 20 years on: legacy and lessons for a post-Covid world" conference. I'll try to tweet key points that strike me, but not live tweet to avoid spamming you https://buff.ly/3cnx13O  1/

Kicking off is @jameswilsdon reminding us that the reason for the event is that we are twenty years on since the House of Lords Science and Technology Committee published its seminal report on Science and Society. And the issues in there are still live https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld199900/ldselect/ldsctech/38/3801.htm 2/

3/ @jameswilsdon is aiming for an honourable mention by @BCredibility ....

4/ first up is @ASollowayUK Minister for Science, Research and Innovation highlighting key impacts of that report - inc @SMC_London and @Sciencewise

5/ Trust is looming large over the conversation, inevitably and obviously, given COVID 19, as is a strong focus on comms about science, it's excitement and the benefits arising from it.
