This video features contributions from Daniele Fanelli (Visiting Professor, School of Library and Information Services, University of Montreal), Sheila Jasanoff (Pforzheimer Professor of Science and Technology Studies, Harvard Kennedy School), Dr Beth Taylor (Chair of the UK National Committee for the International Year of Light 2015 and former Director of Communications at the Institute of Physics) and Dr Chris Tyler, Director of the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology).
