Otley Science Café – September Roundup
September’s Cafe was a success and we once again enjoyed 3 fabulous speakers:
- The Uncanny Valley – Angela Tinwell (Bolton University)
- Next Generation Cancer Medicines – Kamyar Afarinkia (Bradford University)
- New semi-conductors – Luke Bawazer (Leeds University)
One of our speakers, Dr Kamyar Afarinkia, who gave a very interesting talk about Next Generation Cancer Medicines, made a video of the evening:
Plus, here are a few of our snaps from the evening:
If you missed this cafe, there’s another one coming up very shortly on Tuesday 13th November as part of our week long Science Festival.
Next Science Cafe – Thurs 20th September
We are excited to announce an exciting line up for the next Science Café which takes place on Thursday September 20th at 7.30pm at Otley Courthouse, Courthouse Street Otley. Don’t miss the opportunity to fire questions at top scientists from around the region as they set out to encapsulate a key idea in just 10-15 mins and 20 slides.
Angela Tinwell from the University of Bolton will talk about ways that computer generated imagery makes us uncomfortable, in the Uncanny Valley. Kamyar Afarinkia of the Institute of Cancer Therapeutics at the University of Bradford will discuss where the next generation of cancer medicines are going to come from. And Luke Bawazer of the University of Leeds will wonder about the impact of nanoparticles on all our lives.
Marty Jopson of BBC TV’s the One Show who helps organise the event said: ‘We’ve got a great line up and it’s always a really fun and inspiring evening. Everyone’s welcome, whether you’re a beginner, an expert or still at school. Science Cafe audience members are aged from 9-90!’
Tickets: £4/£3 concessions, available in person from Otley Courthouse in advance or on the door, by phone from the Courthouse Box Office- 01943 467466, or online from the Courthouse website at www.otleycourthouse.org.uk
