On Monday 9 November, Dr Gary Carré-Skinner, a biologist, delivered the 60th Public Eckersley Science Lecture to a packed Olivier Theatre at the school.

The public lecture is named after two eminent scientists from Bedales and started 60 years ago in 1966. 

The topic was DNA and it ended with the possibilities a discovery nearly 80 years ago opens up today - like earlier cancer diagnosis; it also reveals that the historic discovery was announced first at Bedales!

We hear from Bedales’ Head of Science, Liz Stacy, about Bedales' scientific record and from Dr Carre-Skinner himself about how an open mind and curiosity can lead on to great things.
