# Brian Cox on Big Science

The British Humanist Association’s Voltaire Lecture has been given by some pretty amazing speakers. And this year was no different. Brian Cox, experimental physicist, television presenter, BHA distinguished supporter and rock star gave a facinating lecture which looked at the importance of science in today’s society.
