IS IT NATURE OR NURTURE? HOW OUR GENES AND SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT SHAPE WHO WE ARE
Melinda Mills, Nuffield Professor of Sociology at Nuffield College and Head of the Department of Sociology

Recent scientific developments allow us to delve into this age-old question in fundamentally new ways. This talk explores recent developments in this area of research in addition to looming ethical dilemmas.
