Angela Saini on Science
In a career that demonstrates a profound love for science, Angela Saini, award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster, has latterly become known for her no-nonsense myth-busting, famously calling the 2017 Google Memo, on supposed differences between males and females, 'prejudice masquerading as fact'. Her last two books Inferior (2017) and Superior (2019) won wide critical acclaim, leading to Angela being named one of the world's top 50 thinkers by Prospect magazine. At Brighton Festival for the first time in a unique free online event, she is joined by Dr Kate Shaw of the University of Sussex, to discuss her career so far and her role in 'Challenging Pseudoscience', at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.
