Four talks at BRLSI this autumn celebrate the power of research in society. The University of Bath presents Innovation with Impact – find out what happens when local academics and researchers look into everyday issues and find solutions to tackle them.

Professor Chris Pudney talks about his device to detect the drug Spice and its growing impact on schools & young people (you can read a BBC News article on this). This year’s cohort of the University Alumni Innovation Award put forward their exciting startup ideas. Dr Millicent Stone exhalts the power of entrepreneurship to link academia and industry. And David Kelly and Dr Andrew Chalmers discuss their antibody search engine which helps 800,000 researchers every year!
