ESOF: Science for a Better Life

ESOF08 LOGO.bmpToday in Barcelona the Euroscience Open Forum 2008 kicks off, with the auspicious slogan ‘Science for a Better Life’. Probably the largest interdisciplinary science conference in Europe, ESOF (generally pronounced eee-soff) has an array of talks covering everything from science in policy to science in art.

This is the place to be if you want to hear Nobel Laureates in Chemistry discuss poetry, argue over whether links between academia and industry are evil, and find out the answer to the question ‘are science journalists vulnerable to intellectual and moral corruption?’ That’s just me opening the programme at random in three different places; but I hope to know more about all three topics by the time the conference ends on Tuesday.
