Scottish Parliament looks ahead

Over 300 people - scientists, educationalists and members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs) - came together at Our Dynamic Earth in Edinburgh, in November, to discuss and debate the key scientific issues that will face those elected to the next Scottish Parliament and Scottish Executive from May 2007 to 2011.  

Now in its sixth year, the annual event, Science and Parliament, is organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry's (RSC) parliamentary affairs officer Stephen Benn and his team, working with the scientific community in Scotland.
