The day-to-day lives of prehistoric humans have been revealed following new research developed by chemists at the University of Bristol. The research, which combines archaeology with cutting-edge chemistry allowing scientists to reconstruct the past, will be presented at the Royal Society’s annual Summer Science Exhibition [30 June 2009].

This two-day workshop will bring together scholars from across the globe to discuss the impact of climate change upon human health. The workshop will consider the contributions which legal and regulatory strategies, public health interventions and economic tools (among others) may make to mitigation and adaptation, and the obstacles which must be overcome. The workshop will also explore questions relating to social justice, human rights, development, and local, regional, national and global governance. A major objective of the workshop is to foster collaborative interdisciplinary international research networks for future projects at the interface of climate change and global health.
