He spoke on ‘Curiosity & Science’, asserting that curiosity was the motivating factor of the greatest scientists, regardless of whether their research was ‘pure’ or applied. He said that the power to improve the world came from knowledge acquired through curiosity, and that it was important to support science across the board, not just in those areas perceived as approaching application.CERN physicist John Ellis, a UCL Visiting Professor, spoke on ‘Particles & Cosmology’, providing a whistlestop tour of what makes up the universe, how we see or sense it, and what remains to be discovered.
