If you're a UK-based scientist you can apply before Sunday 15 April. Our scheme pairs 30 research scientists with UK parliamentarians and civil servants, giving both scientists and policy makers the opportunity to exchange experiences of each other’s worlds, be it at Westminster or in the research laboratory. To find out more and apply, visit our website: Apply     New report explores views on genetic technologies As part of a major programme on genetic technologies, we ran a public dialogue in the UK to explore the range of views that individuals hold concerning the potential application of genetic technologies. The results of the dialogue, summarised in our report (PDF), will inform work on the future of genetic technology development and regulation.  Find out more Our FAQS answer how will Brexit affect UK research One year on from triggering Article 50, what do we know about the effects of Brexit on UK research? There was a breakthrough in negotiations between the UK and the EU last week, with both agreeing the terms of a Brexit transition deal. Our FAQ and latest blog postoutlines what the latest developments mean for UK science and researchers.  Read blog post     Royal Society Oceans project features in government report A new government report draws on research from the Society’s future of ocean resources project, specifically in regards to the deep sea mining of metal rich minerals. This research, and the accompanying interactive map are available to read and explore. The report published by the Government Office for Science considers the role of science and technology in providing solutions to a range of long-term issues, from invasive species control to carbon capture and storage.  Find out more Commonwealth climate statement Ahead of next month's Commonwealth summit, the Royal Society has joined science leaders from around the globe to call on Commonwealth Heads of Government to use the best available science to act on climate change. This call is part of a Consensus Statement on Climate Change, launched by 22 national academies and societies of science. It marks the first time Commonwealth nations have come together in this way, urging governments to reaffirm their commitment to the Paris climate agreement and to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions during the second half of the century.

Debating the future of genetic technologies, Royal Society Wolfson Fellowship, Commonwealth climate change statement   Scientists newsletter   A new age of biology based on genetic technologies? Recent scientific developments have made understanding and adapting genetic material faster, easier and cheaper, with the result that some previously theoretical uses of genetic technologies are becoming increasingly practicable. So as well as considering what now can be done, scientists and society must also consider what should be done. To contribute to these debates we ran a public dialogue in the UK to explore the range of views held by individuals concerning which potential applications for genetic technologies should be developed, why, and under what conditions. The results of this dialogue will inform our work on the future of genetic technologies’ development and regulation.
