 | This British Council and the English-Speaking Union's English Language Council lecture focuses on the language of science and how to make science more publicly accessible. The evening began with an inspiring talk by astrophysicist at Imperial College London, Dr Roberto Trotta. His book, 'The Edge of the Sky', asks all the most puzzling questions about our universe, written using only the most common thousand words in the English language. This was followed by a debate about the use of English to communicate about science. Watch seminar
