| Memoir: Stephen Hawking | Stephen Hawking was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1974 at the exceptionally early age of 32. His contributions to the understanding of gravity, black holes and cosmology were truly immense. They began with the singularity theorems in the 1960s followed by his discovery that black holes have an entropy and consequently a finite temperature.
The latest Biographical Memoirs of the Royal Society provides an account of his life and his work. | |

 | | How do you make better decisions in groups? | | We produced a video with the aim of alerting Royal Society committee chairs and panel members to consider that by pooling diverse information and different areas of expertise, groups can make better decisions than individuals. |
