Mr. JULIAN HUXLEY (Honorary Lecturer in Zoology and Animal Biology in the University of London)
Food provides Mr. Huxley with his first specific example of a social need to which scientific research is all important. He will describe tonight what he has seen in the last ten days at three food research centres at Edinburgh, Aberystwyth, and Cambridge, in which theoretical Mendelism is translated into practical plant and animal breeding. His talk will bring to light the way in which this important work is carried 0:1, organised, and financed, detailed knowledge of vital importance to every citizen that is not easily available.
