BRITISH SOCIETY FOR SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN SCIENCE

MEETING ON THE SOCIAL IMPACT OF MODERN BIOLOGY

Invitation to Speaker

The BSSRS (and we have asked British Pugwash if they
would be co-sponsor) is planning a meeting on the Social
Impact of Modern Biology. This would not only deal
fairly thoroughly with the scientific aspects (in perticular
with molecular genetics) but would also try to put these in
a wide perspective. Dates proposed are October 15th, 16th,
17th or December 2rd, 4th, Sth as second choice, and
September 24th, 25th, 26th or the spring of 1971 as low-
priority third choice.

This is to ask if you could come to the meeting and
give a talk and if you would let us know by the 20th April

a7
APR 27 1979 (in time for our next planning meeting). Travel and

subsistence funds should be available. A manuscript is
required because we feel the write-up will heve more impact
than the meeting itself. Notes on the meeting are enclosed.

It would be most heipful if you could let us know whether
you can come, giving, in order of preference, which of the

dates you could manage.
