Discuss scientific topics with like-minded people at the British Library's TalkScience evenings.
TalkScience@BL are café scientifique style events where an expert provides a short yet provocative introduction, followed by a discussion amongst the audience.
The next event is Patently Obvious? on 4th March
Scientists have long used patents to protect their inventions and allow them opportunities to commercialise their work. However, recent attempts to patent human gene sequences have raised questions over whether a sequence of DNA is an invention or a discovery and highlighted some of the challenges in assessing the patentability of biomedical developments.
