The Technical Advance
World War I made extraordinary demands on the scientific community. Its requirements for manufactured munitions and equipment, as well as the advent of new chemical weapons, made science essential to national security. The war would produce government laboratories, increases in research funding, as well as great boosts in the amount of scientific research — changes with lasting consequences for the pursuit of science.
These experts will examine the ethical dimension in the participation of science in war, and the ongoing affects of government support of scientific pursuit today. This discussion draws on "WW1:Love & Sorrow", now showing at Melbourne Museum.
