The SMC invited journalists at this year’s British Science Festival in Guildford to come and hear about the Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) which was set up to advise the UK government on pandemic influenza, from the group’s co-chair, government Chief Scientific Adviser Prof John Beddington.
