The University of Glamorgan in the UK has launched a degree course in science and science fiction. Mark Brake, the physicist who is director of the course, hopes that the new degree will encourage more people to follow careers related to science and technology. "Science fiction is unique in its close relationship with science," says Brake, "and society needs more people with the ability to inspire young people and get them interested in science and technology." Between 50 and 100 students will start the course in September.
