Royal Society of Medicine launches new series with How To Academy

The Royal Society of Medicine (RSM) has partnered with How To Academy to present a new series of events exploring the present and future of medicine and the biological sciences.

RSM members can receive 20% off tickets for the series hosting influential speakers such as J. Craig Venter, Professor Charan Ranganath and Venki Ramakrishnan.

London-based How To Academy produces events, podcasts and films featuring world-renowned leaders, scholars, scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs in conversation and debate.

The offer can be enjoyed by members as soon as this Wednesday 28 February with ‘The Future of Life’, a conversation with biotechnologist J. Craig Venter, world-renowned for his work on the Human Genome Project. Venter will be speaking with science filmmaker David Malone about his current project which, now in its 15th year, has seen him travel over 65,000 miles in a quest to map the microbiome of the oceans.

Other events available as part of the offer include:

• ‘The new neuroscience of memory and how it shapes us’, Tuesday 12 March. A world-leading pioneer of our understanding of human memory, Professor Charan Ranganath joins Robin Ince to reveal how and why we remember – and how to hold on to what we hold most dear.
• ‘Why we die – the new science of ageing and the quest for immortality’, Wednesday 20 March. Nobel Prize-winning molecular biologist Venki Ramakrishnan discusses our understanding of why we age and die – and ask what we can do about it.

RSM members can find more information and details of how to access this benefit in their email inboxes.
