| Video Discription | Genetics is a subject with a long past, and some of our greatest geneticists have had some troubling beliefs. Join this channel to watch the Q&A for this lecture: https://youtu.be/HM50DQsfV7Q Buy Adam's book 'Control: The Dark History and Troubling Present of Eugenics' here: https://geni.us/OrlwiUF This lecture was recorded at the Ri on 11 October 2023. Join the 2023 JBS Haldane Lecturer Adam Rutherford as he explores how, as we continue to use and celebrate the advances of our intellectual predecessors, we frequently fail to acknowledge the toxic political views that informed their work. Even today, scientists are not exempt from their culture, and science is always political. In this talk Adam will explore the work, views and legacies of some of our heroes, including Karl Pearson, Ronald Fisher and yes, JBS Haldane. The JBS Haldane Lecture recognises an individual for outstanding ability to communicate topical subjects in genetics research, widely interpreted, to an interested lay audience. This speaker will have a flair for conveying the relevance and excitement of recent advances in genetics in an informative and engaging way.
