To celebrate their library’s 350th anniversary The Royal Society has announced the One Culture festival will be taking place later this year. Scientists. writers and historians will be coming together in a series of events on Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd October to explore the relationship between science and culture.
There are a few of the sessions which have caught my eye including:
- “Sam & I”, a one-woman performance by Take the Space Theatre Company which looks at the world of Samuel Pepys through the thoughts of his wife Elizabeth
- a conversation about science, writing and psychology with Sebastain Faulks and
- Ian Thomson exploring how science influence Primo Levi during his incarceration at Auschwitz-Birkenau.
More details can be found on the Royal Society’s website.
