DESCRIPTION:<p>\n      Cambridge University Chemical Society\,
  in association with the Royal Society of Chemistr
 y\, is delighted to present a forum on Interdiscip
 linarity in Science. \n<br><br>\n	Featuring a dive
 rse panel of leading researchers and government ad
 visors\, we will debate how the increasingly inter
 disciplinary nature of certain areas of science im
 pacts on the potential career paths of young scien
 tists. \n<br><br>\n	Discussion topics will include
  issues that will be relevant from a careers persp
 ective\, such as funding opportunities\, and resea
 rch impact\, as well as problems of knowledge mana
 gement and balance between breadth and depth. We w
 ill also examine how interdisciplinarity can shape
  a scientific education\, preparing students for r
 esearch in areas that draw upon many different fie
 lds. \n      <br>\n<br>\nChairing the debate will 
 be <b>Quentin Cooper</b>\,\npresenter of BBC Radio
  4's\nweekly science programme\, The Material Worl
