On a Thursday night, in the month of April, a group of interested folks gathered in the Brass Monkey pub, on Drummond Street in Edinburgh. In a dark back room, a Mason Institute event was about to take place organised by deputy directors, Nayha Sethi and facilitated by Gill Haddow.
The gathering was about stimulating medical socio-legal discussions through the format of 1) screening a relevant movie, in this case, the sci-fi classic GATTACA and 2) following with a short talk from a researcher interested in the area. On this occasion, Shona Kerr, from the University of Edinburgh’s Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, led an animated audience discussion that continued into the bar.
