Life begins at 40: the biological and cultural roots of the midlife crisis | The Royal Society
During the 20th century, the midlife crisis became a fashionable means of describing feelings of disillusionment with work, disenchantment with relationships, detachment from family responsibilities, and the growing fear of personal death that began to haunt those beyond the age of forty.

Coined in 1965, the term 'midlife crisis' is often used as satire in popular culture, with numerous examples of stereotypical depictions of rebellion and infidelity. It has been a popular focus of research seeking to explain why and how middle age presents particular social, physiological and emotional challenges.

Understanding unconscious bias | The Royal Society
This animation introduces the key concepts of unconscious bias. It forms part of the Royal Society’s efforts to ensure that all those who serve on Royal Society selection and appointment panels are aware of differences in how candidates may present themselves, how to recognise bias in yourself and others, how to recognise inappropriate advocacy or unreasoned judgement. You can find out more about unconscious bias and download a briefing which includes current academic research at www.royalsociety.org/diversity.

Why soil is vital to life | The Royal Society
Professor Karen Johnson Presents the 2023 Rosalind Franklin Award Lecture titled ‘ A nation that rebuilds its soils rebuilds itself: the role of women’
Join the discussion and add your questions at slido.com using code R1311
Franklin D. Roosevelt said "A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself". He was referring to the American Midwest during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, but also unknowingly foreshadowing what lay ahead.
In the EU, two-thirds of soils are now degraded, while one-third of worldwide soil experiences the issue of degradation. Soil is the biggest store of organic carbon after fossil fuels. By degrading it over the last 70 years through industrialised agriculture, we have ended up in a vicious cycle of climate change causing fire, floods and droughts. These events exac...

Can a commitment to improving science culture impact your career prospects?
Everyone involved in science should be active participants in establishing a positive science culture. However, all too often the commitment of time and resources to this endeavour can be seen as extra-curricular to someone’s role, rather than an integral part of it. In this session we explore the potential tensions between advancing in your career and focusing on improving aspects of science culture such as inclusion, ethics and more.
Confirmed panellists: Professor Candy Rowe, Dean of Research Culture and Strategy, Newcastle University; Dr Devin Swiner, Member, Board of Directors, National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE); Professor Vasilios Stavros, Professor of Physical Chemistry, University of Birmingham; Dr Natércia das...

During the 20th century, the midlife crisis became a fashionable means of describing feelings of disillusionment with work, disenchantment with relationships, detachment from family responsibilities, and the growing fear of personal death that began to haunt those beyond the age of forty.

Coined in 1965, the term 'midlife crisis' is often used as satire in popular culture, with numerous examples of stereotypical depictions of rebellion and infidelity. It has been a popular focus of research seeking to explain why and how middle age presents particular social, physiological and emotional challenges.
In this lecture, Professor Mark Jackson, winner of the 2018 Wilkins-Bernal-Medawar Medal, explores a rich range of historical sources to argue that the midlife crisis emerged as a result of demographic changes, new biological accounts of ageing, and deepening anxieties about economic decline, political instability, rising level of divorce, and the impact of family breakdown on social cohesion.

Join the discussion and add your questions at slido.com using code R1311
Franklin D. Roosevelt said "A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself". He was referring to the American Midwest during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, but also unknowingly foreshadowing what lay ahead.
In the EU, two-thirds of soils are now degraded, while one-third of worldwide soil experiences the issue of degradation. Soil is the biggest store of organic carbon after fossil fuels. By degrading it over the last 70 years through industrialised agriculture, we have ended up in a vicious cycle of climate change causing fire, floods and droughts. These events exacerbate soil degradation and cause more climate change.
Soils are not glamorous but they do underpin all terrestrial life. They don't just feed us, they store water and they store carbon. Soil degradation has happened because we have been treating soil as inanimate. Soil is living. Just like us, soil needs energy and materials to stay alive. But we are killing it. And unless we do things differently and start to care for soil as a living material, we will destroy nations, because we will have food shortages, we will have more floods, more droughts and fire, and we will have more inequality.
Using "waste" materials rich in the carbon and minerals (apostrophes because these materials are not waste to living soil) we can provide the soil microbiome with what it is missing so it can thrive. By working with the soil microbiome and by feeding our soils we can produce healthier plants, healthier animals and have a healthier planet. The role of caring is one that is largely assigned to women but there is a growing consensus that a caring approach can result in environmental, economic and social benefits for all. Working with the soil microbiome to rebuild our soils will help us to deliver net zero, net biodiversity gain, and to improve both human and planetary health.

From movies, art and architecture to the fundamental rules of life and the Universe around us, symmetry is everywhere. 🌌 Subscribe to our channel for exciting science videos and live events, many hosted by Brian Cox, our Professor for Public Engagement: https://bit.ly/3fQIFXB

Join Dr Laila Moubayidin from the John Innes Centre to find out about the difference between bilateral and radial symmetry, and why the laws that govern art and architecture are also vital for the health of organisms. We also investigate why 'breaking' symmetry can be a crucial adaptation for some animals, including humans. 🌿
Dr Laila Moubayidin is a Royal Society University Research Fellow.
Special thanks to Alex M. Schreiber, St. Lawrence University for the 'flatfish metamorphosis' video 🐟

Everyone involved in science should be active participants in establishing a positive science culture. However, all too often the commitment of time and resources to this endeavour can be seen as extra-curricular to someone’s role, rather than an integral part of it. In this session we explore the potential tensions between advancing in your career and focusing on improving aspects of science culture such as inclusion, ethics and more.
Confirmed panellists: Professor Candy Rowe, Dean of Research Culture and Strategy, Newcastle University; Dr Devin Swiner, Member, Board of Directors, National Organization for the Professional Advancement of Black Chemists and Chemical Engineers (NOBCChE); Professor Vasilios Stavros, Professor of Physical Chemistry, University of Birmingham; Dr Natércia das Neves Rodrigues Lopes, Junior Researcher, Instituto Superior Técnico

Throughout 2018, we've brought you the world's leading thinkers on artificial intelligence.
Now we're calling on you to pose your questions to our panel of experts, to find out what challenges and opportunities you think AI will present us with in the next decade. Will AI affect our jobs? What risks might AI pose to society? Can we train AIs to make moral and ethical decisions?
The discussion will be webcast live and the video recording will be available shortly after the event: https://royalsociety.org/science-events-and-lectures/2018/12/you-and-ai-barbican/
Ask your questions here: https://forms.royalsociety.org/s/YouAndAI/
The panel will be hosted by Professor Brian Cox OBE FRS, physicist, author and broadcaster. It includes:
Professor Peter Donnelly FRS FMedSci, Director, Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics, and Professor of Statistical Science, University of Oxford
Dr Vivienne Ming, theoretical neuroscientist, technologist, entrepreneur and co-founder of Socos
Professor Suchi Saria, John C. Malone Assistant Professor at John Hopkins University, Department of Computer Science
