Packington Memorial Hall hosts a talk next week called Science Fiction vs Science Fact - with Catrin Rutland.

In the 1950s a new science was born, yet scientists and literature had long been fascinated with what we now call 'Genetics'.

Long before the term genetics existed, writers were effectively exploring the idea of genetic manipulation, breeding and future societies in the light of scientific technology.

Catrin is a well qualified speaker being an associate professor of anatomy and developmental genetics and British Science Association Media Fellow. She has published many scientific publications as well as written a range of popular science books and is also a published science fiction writer.
