Roundtable - The Faithful Scientists: How Faith & Belief Impacts our Scientific Career

Room: Lowther - located on level 0

Roundtable

An interactive discussion about experiences of being a person of faith in the life sciences field. How can faith coexist with science? Do we have shared experiences with other religious/spiritual people? Is science similar to prayer? These are examples of some questions that could be asked of the panellists. I'm a Druid and a scientist, and too often my faith is seen as anti-science. This is a similar experience to that of people from other religions, such as Christianity, Islam, Judaism, etc. This session aims to empower the audience by demonstrating that science and faith can coexist.
