The New Enlightenment: 2012 Dimbleby Lecture.
For all of you who are interested in science and its place in the intellectual, ethical, practical and economic life of the nation, here is this year’s BBC Richard Dimbleby Lecture. Sir Paul Nurse gives a passionate and galvanising view of scientific practice and its consequences in the 2012 lecture. Not strictly synthetic biology, but essential watching!

Dear Sir, Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful work and especially for your incredible lecture, I watched on BBC4 last night.
You covered every important aspect in your speech and I just could not stop watching you. You are a true master of science or I would like to call it the True Wisdom on Earth for all. Really pleased to know about you and your lecture. How can we contribute Sir in day to day life to make Science a very important centre of our life all around?
Thank you and may I wish you a very happy and healthy and long life.
