Successful Science Communication: Telling It Like It Is
In the 25 years since the 'Bodmer Report' kick-started the public understanding of science movement, there has been something of a revolution in science communication. However, despite the ever-growing demands of the public, policy-makers and the media, many scientists still find it difficult to successfully explain and publicise their activities or to understand and respond to people's hopes and concerns about their work. Bringing together exper…
Public Understanding of Science: The BA, the Royal Society and Copus
My involvement in the public understanding of science in the UK came through a critique of claims for a genetic basis for IQ differences between races. That led to my chairmanship of the Royal Society's Committee on the Public Understanding of Science (COPUS). The main thrust of its 1985 report was directed at the need for scientists to learn how to communicate with the general public in all its guises, and to consider it a duty to do so. The for…
The Eurasian Heartland: A continental perspective on Y-chromosome diversity
The nonrecombining portion of the human Y chromosome has proven to be a valuable tool for the study of population history. The maintenance of extended haplotypes characteristic of particular geographic regions, despite extensive admixture, allows complex demographic events to be deconstructed. In this study we report the frequencies of 23 Y-chromosome biallelic polymorphism haplotypes in 1,935 men from 49 Eurasian populations, with a particular f…

The Handbook of Man
The handbook of man is written in the four letter alphabet in the language of DNA. The information that matters and makes us all into what we are is equivalent to the contents of one copy of the Oxford English Dictionary, but one single misprint in the still undeciphered handbook causes severe disease. Good progress has been made for sickle cell disease and there is much promise that similar new techniques can also be applied to cancer of the col…

La variance de la dimension des familles selon divers facteurs de la fécondité
La reproduction humaine, avec ou sans pratiques contraceptives, a fait l'objet, depuis plusieurs années, de nombreuses études. Les premiers résultats, concernant la fécondité physiologique ou fertilité, ont été donnés sous forme de moyennes. Dans un précédent article, M. Albert Jacquard, chef de recherches à l'I.N.E.D., a, par l'usage de la méthode de simulation de Monte-Carlo, donné des résultats sur la dispersion de la taille des familles, selo…
