One of the highlights of yesterday’s programme was the Douglas Lea Lecture Radiobiology – the need for greater understanding and application given by Søren Bentzen.

The conference dinner is being held tonight at the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester and will include entertainment from the band ‘The Manufacturers’.
