This interesting book is a compilation of the lectures and
discussions held during a four-day event - Grand Challenges for
Science in the 21st Century - organized by Para Limes at the
Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.The elite group of
speakers included Nobel laureate Sydney Brenner who called on all
scientists to adopt a truth-seeking approach and not be afraid of
challenging assumptions. The other panellists were Martin Rees,
Astronomer Royal and past President of the Royal Society, the
much-cited Terrence Sejnowski from the renowned Salk Institute for
Biological Studies, the well-known keynote speaker in economics and
complexity sciences Brian Arthur, the former President of the
European Research Council Helga Nowotny and the Director of the
Parmenides Center for the Conceptual Foundations of Science Eors
Szathmary.The lively sessions were moderated by the Danish writer
Tor Norretranders. The panel tackled topics from evolution and the
origin of the universe to modern technologies and artificial
intelligence. The challenges presented during the event are bound
to get the reader thinking about what may lie ahead in our
future.Published in collaboration with Institute Para Limes.
