Lecture for Gresham in the North

PLEASE NOTE: THIS LECTURE IS IN DURHAM.

What might the future hold for medicine? Are robot surgeons, brain implants, and personalised vaccines just around the corner, or will society disintegrate in the face of another pandemic or a wave of untreatable infections?

This lecture explores medical discoveries that might be just around the corner, the ethical challenges they may bring with them, and how best to stack the dice in favour of a healthier future for humanity.
