Royal Society Former President Talks to the ABC's Robyn Williams. (December
25, 2011)
For
this week's Science Show, Robyn Williams interviewed Lord May of
Oxford. After introducing him as: one of the most decorated men in
Australian history, Lord May of Oxford [has been] been chief scientist in
Britain, president of the Royal Society of London, he's won prizes equivalent to
Nobels, and he's got the OM. The Order of Merit is one of those awards that is
so special. If you knock back the others, you won't say no to the OM, trust me.
I talked to him at the Royal Society about his very lucky life.
