Policy Lunchbox is a new joint initiative between the Biochemical Society and the British Ecological Society.  Throughout the year, a series of lunchtime events will be held which bring together guest speakers with those who work in science policy.  Guest speakers will cover a range of pertinent issues and attendees are encouraged to both ask questions and share information.  Events are free to attend, but space is limited and places must be reserved in advance.

If you would like to attend please email rebecca.smith@biochemistry.org
