Richard Dawkins appeared at Cheltenham Science Festival in June where he spoke for over an hour about his hero, Charles Darwin. Watch exclusive video clips.
The focus of this Channel 4 at Cheltenham website this year is Science Heroes. We've teamed up with The Daily Telegraph to explore this subject further and we'd love you to take a moment to think about – and vote for – your personal hero of science. Or perhaps there’s someone many consider a hero who has a dark side and in your eyes is more of a zero. Einstein – father of relativity or the A bomb? Darwin – clear sighted rationalist or short-sighted reductionist? Who is your hero of science and why? And who do you consider a zero and for what reason?
Get some inspiration - watch the lively Science Heroes debate from Cheltenham Science Festival.
Have your say and help us discover the greatest science hero and the most ignonimous zeroes…
FameLab looks to bring to light the best of science communicators/presenters. It is getting even bigger and better with this years’ competition launching at the Cheltenham festival and running until the grand final in Autumn 2009. More on FameLab.
