Lord Rees, speaking at the ASE Annual Conference in January, said that colleges and universities in the UK need to keep up with the 'more intensive and rigorous' education of young scientists in the Far East.
In his 2013 Presidential Address, Rees said that the ASE's mission (to promote excellence in science teaching and learning) was important for three reasons: to help the UK keep up with 'the surging numbers of scientifically-qualified young people in the Far East', to ensure every student knows enough science to 'prevent them being bamboozled by propaganda', and so that everyone can value the insights that science offers humanity.
