May 02, 2015 Risky Business
Launch a start-up company; plan for extreme weather; move country; don't bother with medical checkups. Most of our lives involve the assessment of risk – and sometimes it’s the community versus the individual that we have to consider. Think vaccines, children’s behaviour and crime. In this week's Science Show a distinguished panel tackles risk within science and politics. Malcolm Turnbull, federal minister for communication, Sam Mostyn a business woman with experience in insurance, Dr Ian Jacobs, the new Vice-Chancellor of UNSW, and Professor Herbert Huppert from Cambridge University give their take on solving problems through the assessment of risk.
