About this item
| Description: | Global terrorism should be shrugged off as a low level risk allowing us all to get on with our lives. Katie Derham introduces this Cambridge podcast with a look at how scientific understanding of risk is influencing our thinking on the fight against global terror. Professor Ross Anderson of the University of Cambridge describes our battle with violent political extremists as like a skin complaint that we can’t cure, but which we can't help scratching. In a lively panel discussion as part of the Science Festival, we hear from others including John Adams of University College London, Tom Sorrel of the University of Birmingham and Brooke Rodgers, from Kings College London. |
