The Royal Society is the independent scientific Academy of the UK and the Commonwealth, dedicated to promoting excellence in science. It supports many top young scientists, engineers and technologists. It influences science policy, it debates scientific issues with the public and much more. It is an independent, charitable body which derives its authoritative status from its 1400 Fellows and Foreign Members.
The following information is available on their website:
* Information about the Society
* Science News (the latest Royal Society press releases; archives)
* Events Diary (information on forthcoming events)
* Science Issues (Topical issues on which the Royal Society has conducted a study, issued a science brief, held a meeting, issued a press release...)(http://royalsociety.org/landing.asp?id=6)
- Animals in research (Along with the great majority of the scientific community, the Royal Society considers that the benefits arising from scientific research which uses animals justifies their use)
- Energy (Governments face the major challenge of providing a secure, affordable and environmentally sustainable energy supply. Crucially this includes making significant reductions in carbon dioxide emissions)
- Synthetic Biology (An area of research that can broadly be described as the design and construction of novel artificial biological pathways, organisms or devices, or the redesign of existing natural biological systems)
- Nanoscience and nanotechnology (Nanotechnologies involve studying and working with matter on an ultra-small scale. One nanometre is one-millionth of a millimetre and a single human hair is around 80,000 nanometres in width)
* Publishing (This site provides a range of services and facilities including access to the Society’s journals, news of recently published science) http://publishing.royalsociety.org/index.cfm?page=1041
