Seeing things in a different light: How X-ray crystallography revealed the structure of everything
From the first observations and interpretations of the scattering of X-rays by salt crystals at the start of the 20th century, structural biologist Stephen Curry will trace the development of a technique that has uncovered not only the atomic structure of the material world but also the molecular basis of life and death.

Mind Games: The science of sexism
The number of female politicians in Britain is decreasing, teenage girls are suffering increased violence from boyfriends, and the pay gap between men and women over the age of 30 shows no sign of equalising. Some claim that inequality and sexism are on the increase. But where does sexism come from? Claudia Hammond chairs an expert panel discussion.
In association with the British Psychological Society.

Antimatter; why the anti-world matters
Antimatter, an identical, oppositely charged version of normal matter, is one of the most mysterious substances in the Universe and very little of it survives today. Tara Shears examines the progress being made towards understanding this elusive version of matter, and explains the latest results from LHCb and elsewhere.

Mutations: great and small
One of the greatest surprises of human genetic research has been the degree to which healthy people vary in the number of genes in their genomes, as a result of gains and losses of large segments of DNA. Generating comprehensive maps of where these variants exist in our genomes has enabled us to identify large common genetic variants that influence our susceptibility to common diseases such as diabetes, as well as to discover large rare genetic variants that can cause a wide range of rare disorders. Dr Hurles will discuss how his investigations of this previously under-appreciated form of genetic variation have helped to s...
