In this cross-disciplinary roundtable, Dr Tim Douglas, LUCC Fellow and Senior Lecturer in Bio-Chemical Engineering, will explain why language is good for science and why science is good for learning languages. Tim will discuss his experiences learning Chinese and the connections between language and science, with special reference to the Periodic Table in Chinese.

Languages and Sciences are however often perceived as separate; this roundtable will explore how they are intertwined and complementary.
