Changes in the concept of Autism

Tuesday 20 May

Autism has changed from being a narrowly-defined and rare condition to a widely-defined spectrum encompassing more than 1% of the population. Join Francesca Happé, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience, King's College London, in conversation with Professor Alan Stein, Senior Research Fellow in Global Health and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government for a talk on changes in the concept of autism over the last several decades and how all these changes bring new opportunities as well as new challenges.

Nature Needs You!

Friday 4 July

Hannah Bourne-Taylor, author and bird conservationist, has written the extraordinary story of how she created a national campaign to save swifts from extinction. Hannah’s aim was to try and change the law to make ‘swift bricks’ (that provide a cavity nesting habitat for eight species of urban birds) compulsory in new builds across the UK. Hear Hannah recount how she launched her ‘swift brick’ campaign from scratch, without any financial backing, contacts or experience, armed only with her tenacity, passion, integrity and humour.
