The Colston Lecture
The Colston Lecture is intended to provide a focal point at NIMR for discussion of Science & Society issues. It is named in honour of Jo Colston, head of NIMR’s Division of Mycobacterial Research until his untimely death in 2003. In addition to being a gifted scientist Jo was an artist and a musician and a strong believer in the need for public engagement.
