[Committee] Fwd: Pugwash: Aubrey de Grey on Life Extension

[M. Kaufmann]

Hi guys,

if you remember Connolley's talk last term (organised by the pugwash soc), 
you may remember that there was a bit of a friction at the end. Should some 
people attend this or is it a waste of time? Just in order to make some 
points, if he goes on to bash the Stern review again.

Moreover,there was a Professor from Lancaster University talking in the 
transport seminar by CEF, he was really, really good, both Anna and I were 
rather impressed. And before I loose (or lose?) the contact details, here 
they are:

Prof. Roger Kemp FREng, email: r.kemp at lancaster.ac.uk

Cheeky as I am, I'd like to advertise the "Stop the arms trade" demo on 
Saturday 1pm, Senate house lawn to you, if you support it and can spend an 
hour, pleaseplease come along.

That's it, see you on Saturday or Monday,

Marc

Ps: Nicky, I've done Pembroke and Peterhouse, so you can tick them
