Adam Rutherford to speak at Lab Innovations 2017
Lab Innovations - the UK's only dedicated showcase for laboratory, analytical and biotech equipment - returns to the NEC, Birmingham, for its sixth consecutive year on the 1st and 2nd of November 2017.
Science writer and broadcaster Adam Rutherford will be a keynote speaker at this years event, drawing on his experiences as a scientific adviser for the film industry to highlight how popular culture can be an effective medium for ‘normalising science.
Adams presentation, entitled Pipetting in Hollywood: my life as a scientific advisor in films, will be on Wednesday the 1st of November in the Royal Society of Chemistry theatre. He commented: "Its the explicit secret agenda of people like myself - scientists with a media profile - to normalise science in culture. Science shouldnt be seen as the preserve of boffins and people in white coats with badly combed hair. Our aim is to show science as something completely normal, so if you can introduce genuine scientific ideas into films with £50 or £80 million budgets that will be seen by hundreds of thousands or even millions of people, then thats a win."
Adam Rutherford is just one of the many speakers on a packed schedule at this years Lab Innovations, which also brings together more than 150 manufacturers and suppliers of laboratory products under a single roof. With so much on offer, Lab Innovations has something for everyone. Come and hear inspiring speakers, find out about the latest product launches, network with fellow innovators, and get involved in interactive seminars and hands-on demonstrations. Its an event not to be missed.

Featured Product
T.J. Davies' Retention Knobs
Our retention knobs are manufactured above international standards or to machine builder specifications. Retention knobs are manufactured utilizing AMS-6274/AISI-8620 alloy steel drawn in the United States. Threads are single-pointed on our lathes while manufacturing all other retention knob features to ensure high concentricity. Our process ensures that our threads are balanced (lead in/lead out at 180 degrees.) Each retention knob is carburized (hardened) to 58-62HRC, and case depth is .020-.030. Core hardness 40HRC. Each retention knob is coated utilizing a hot black oxide coating to military specifications. Our retention knobs are 100% covered in black oxide to prevent rust. All retention knob surfaces (not just mating surfaces) have a precision finish of 32 RMA micro or better: ISO grade 6N. Each retention knob is magnetic particle tested and tested at 2.5 times the pulling force of the drawbar. Certifications are maintained for each step in the manufacturing process for traceability.
