During 4 Thursdays in June 2011, UCL’s free, public, Lunch Hour Lectures will be uprooted from their usual residence at UCL to go on tour to The British Museum. This summer series of bite-sized Lunch Hour Lectures, featuring introductions by British Museum curators, will discuss 4 topics in bite sized chunks: what archaeology can tell us about climate change; where we are with slowing the spread of HIV; how Greek sculpture has shaped the modern male body; and how we detect forgeries in the art world.

30 years and still counting: slowing the spread of HIV in a complex world - Video
Nearly 30 years on from the first description of AIDS, there are now over 33 million people estimated to be infected with HIV worldwide. Thanks to new drugs, people with HIV are now living longer and healthier lives. However, less than a third of people who could benefit currently get treatment, and for every 2 people put on treatment, 5 more are becoming infected. This lecture will look at the successes and failures of HIV prevention and explore the social, economic and technical challenges involved in slowing its future spread.
