The Talk should be:
- controversial
- entertaining
- authoritative
- concise
- capable of standing rigorous questioning
- intellectually stimulating
but
- delivered in plain English for the non-specialist or non-scientist
- broad enough to generate an hour's lively Questions & Answers
Café scientifique subjects:
- current developments in scientific research and thinking
- what can and can't be done as a result of recent knowledge
- the social and ethical implications of pursuing newly possible courses of action.
- the (potential) impact of new technology.
The talks should not be veiled attempts to promote new products
