[edit] SYDNEY BRENNER'S TALK AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE ON MAY 1ST 2006
I had the pleasure of listening to him for the best part of two hours in the Department of Chemistry to an audience mainly comprising student members of the Cambridge Biological Society and the Cambridge Scientific Society; his lecture was a tour de force and his lecturing style reminded me of the late Dr. Jacob Bronowski (from "The Ascent of Man" BBC TV series). For someone who will be 80 next January [2007) it was a remarkable performance, and he took a lot of questions afterwards. I recommend his book "A Life in Science" for anyone not present!

Incidentally, I have no strong objection to what used to be the first sentence in this biography, as the subject uses it himself in some self-descriptions. Still, the criterion of relevance is not necessarily fulfilled, and it is simplest to be consistent. Bellbird 16:12, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
