Brilliant minds meet in Grimsby

Lord Winston and Dr Kelly pictured at Grimsby Institute.

HULL and Humber Chamber Chief Executive Dr Ian Kelly was delighted to join Grimsby Institute Chief Executive Gill Alton and her students in September as they welcomed Lord Robert Winston to Grimsby to speak about science, his television career and his pioneering IVF work in the field of medicine.

Afterwards the conversation turned to a variety of topics including Brexit, climate change and the impact of gold fish watching too much TV!

Dr Kelly said: "Lord Winston is one of the great thinkers of our time and it was a delight to reflect on his observations and enjoy the way he presented scientific issues in such a fun way.  It is always a particular pleasure when the great and good make a special effort to reach out of the London and Westminster ‘bubble’ to our part of the world”.
