Learning from the next generation

David Montagu:

Members of the Royal Society's Vision Committee went back to school yesterday to meet with pupils from the Paddington Academy.

In a session full of lively debate, pupils challenged the Committee on a wide variety of issues to do with science and science education. Among the major concerns they drew the Committee's attention to were the uncertainties of climate change, increased flooding, the recent destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy, worldwide water shortages and the need for more attention to be given to science in news programmes.
