This is a collection of personal perspectives by leading scientists on topics of high current relevance and interest written specifically to mark the 350th anniversary of the Royal Society. The authors were selected on the basis of their knowledge and experience in a topical area of life sciences research and they were invited to present their personal analysis of the status of the topic, promising and less promising approaches being used at the moment and, where possible, some bold conclusions. The topical areas highlighted were those that were mentioned most commonly by Royal Society Fellows and University Researchers as being of high interest and importance for future study. These topics range from environmental sustainability, including relevant areas of economics, ecology and behaviour, through complex process related to gene function and neural processing, to applications of stem cell research, social cognition and ageing.
