Basingstoke IVC Science Cafe invite you to this free Royal Society panel discussion on their YouTube Channel titled "Putting the sun in a bottle: the path to delivering sustainable fusion power"

The Kavli prize lecture 2019 given by Professor Ian Chapman

The imperative to address climate change is only escalating. Fusion – the process that powers the Sun – offers the potential for carbon-free, effectively limitless, continuous electricity, if only it can be harnessed here on Earth.

Professor Ian Chapman and his colleagues are working to make fusion power a reality, and with the advent of ITER, the largest science experiment humankind has ever undertaken, they hope to demonstrate fusion power on a commercial scale.

The UK, as one of the world leaders in fusion, is embarking on the design of a compact fusion reactor to follow ITER which aims to drive down the scale and cost of fusion power, which Professor Chapman will explain and explore during his prize lecture.  

The prize lecture will be webcast live and the video recording of the event will be available shortly after the event.

• The event will be livestreamed on the Royal Society YouTube channel on 3 November at 6pm
  The event is free to join, and there is no registration required
  Live subtitles will be available

The award

The Kavli Medal and Lecture is now awarded annually for excellence in all fields of science and engineering relevant to the environment. The medal is of bronze gilt and is accompanied by a gift of £1,000.

Professor Ian Chapman was awarded the Kavli Medal and Lecture 2019 for his scientific insight that has illuminated the complex physics of confined plasmas and prepared the way for fusion burn.

We will have the replay of the video available for 72 hours after the event for those of you that can’t make the new date. It will also be uploaded to YouTube in the future.

SUMMARY
Understanding why we feel a subjective sense of self and how it arises in the brain seems like an impossible task.

In this talk, Mark Solms discusses his new theory of consciousness that returns emotions to the centre of mental life.

Join Mark as he explores the subjective experiences of hundreds of neurological patients, many of whom he treated. Their uncanny conversations help to expose the brain’s obscure reaches.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Mark Solms has spent his entire career investigating the mysteries of consciousness. Best known for identifying the brain mechanisms of dreaming and for bringing psychoanalytic insights into modern neuroscience, he is director of neuropsychology in the Neuroscience Institute of the University of Cape Town, honorary lecturer in neurosurgery at the Royal London Hospital School of Medicine, and an honorary fellow of the American College of Psychiatrists.

Basingstoke IVC Science Cafe invite you to this free Royal Institution talk titled "The value of the human in an age of automation"

Please re-register for the event via this link: 

https://www.rigb.org/whats-on/events-2021/february/public-the-value-of-the-human-in-the-age-of-aut

We will have the replay of the video available for 72 hours after the event for those of you that can’t make the new date. It will also be uploaded to YouTube in the future.

SUMMARY
We are already seeing the impact of automation on the job market. Presently, machine intelligence is only domain-specific, but ultimately it will greatly exceed the cognitive performance of humans in virtually all domains of interest. As such 'super-intelligent' systems develop, what jobs would humans have? Will there be any value to human life at all in such a scenario? 

There is still time. The next few decades are critical for humankind - not least because of looming ecological, military and economic crises - but principally because we will need to design a future where humans and machines can live in harmony and synchronicity. Anders Sandberg of the Future of Human Institute at Oxford will explore how it is not only machines that we must be responsible for reprogramming, but indeed our own selves. As artificial intelligence replaces the role of the 'specialist', it is multidimensional minds, or polymaths, that will become indispensable.

This event is part of the Polymath Festival

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Anders Sandberg's research at the Future of Humanity Institute centres on management of low-probability high-impact risks, societal and ethical issues surrounding human enhancement, estimating the capabilities of future technologies, and very long-range futures. He is currently senior researcher in the FHI-Amlin industry collaboration on systemic risk of risk modelling.

He is senior Oxford Martin fellow, and research associate of the Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, the Oxford Centre for Neuroethics, the Center for the Study of Bioethics (Belgrade), and the Institute of Future Studies (Stockholm). He is on the advisory boards of a number of organisations and often debates science and ethics in international media.

Anders has a background in computer science, neuroscience and medical engineering. He obtained his Ph.D. in computational neuroscience from Stockholm University, Sweden, for work on neural network modelling of human memory.

Waqas Ahmed is founder of the DaVinci Network and author of the internationally acclaimed book The Polymath (Wiley 2019). A global authority on multi-disciplinary thinking, his work spans the fields of visual art, neuroscience, international affairs, intercultural education, health and fitness and world history. 

He is the founder of the The Polymath Festival – the world’s first major festival of ideas dedicated to celebrating many-sided human potential and exploring interdisciplinary solutions to complex world problems.

We will have the replay of the video available for 72 hours after the event for those of you that can’t make the date. It will also be uploaded to YouTube in the future.

SUMMARY
To celebrate the publication of his new book, Psycho-Logical, Dean Burnett joins the Royal Institution for a live talk about how and why the modern world affects the brain.

Join Dean as he looks at how these affects lead to so many mental health issues, the methods and complications around recognising and treating them, how our understanding has changed over the decades, and much more.

In this talk, Dean takes an in-depth and interesting look at the science which explains how and why our mental health goes awry.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Dr Dean Burnett, neuroscientist, lecturer, author, blogger, podcaster, pundit, science communicator, comedian and numerous other things, depending on who’s asking and what they need.

Previously employed as a psychiatry tutor and lecturer at the Cardiff University Centre for Medical Education, Dean is currently an honorary research associate at Cardiff Psychology School, as well as a Visiting Industry Fellow at Birmingham City University.

However, Dean is currently a full-time author, previously known for his satirical science column ‘Brain Flapping‘ at the Guardian, now Brain Yapping for Cosmic Shambles Network. This led to his internationally acclaimed bestselling debut book ‘The Idiot Brain‘, which has resulted in several further books and even more interesting brain stuff.

His latest book 'Psycho-Logical: Why Mental Health Goes Wrong – and How to Make Sense of It'' is available now on Amazon and in all good book stores.

You are invited to join Basingstoke IVC Science enthusiasts at a talk on "Ocean Circulation in a Changing Climate" to be delivered by Dr. Simon Boxall.

SUMMARY:
Ocean circulation in a changing climate - how small changes make big differences. The oceans are vast, covering over 70% of the planet's surface and contains 14 (followed by 17 zeros) tonnes of water. Yet a small change of a fraction of a degree in temperature can reverse the way this gargantuan mass of water moves around our planet, effecting life on land as well as in the ocean itself.

SPEAKER:
Dr. Simon Boxall is a senior lecturer in Oceanography at the University of Southampton, National Oceanography Centre (UK), and heads up the science on the Cape Farewell project (capefarewell.com).

He has worked on secondment for projects for UNESCO, The European Union Research Centre, The World Bank, The British Council, and European Space Agency over the years.

Simon has a responsibility for public understanding and has been involved in documentaries for C4, Sky, BBC, National Geographic and Discovery. He regularly appears on radio/ TV news and current affairs broadcasts, worldwide relating to a broad range of ocean, coastal and climate issues. He is a regular contributor to Newnight, Radio 4’s Today and PM programmes.

Prof Charlie Wilson (School of Environmental Sciences and the Tyndall Centre)

Digital technologies are woven into the fabric of everyday life. In this talk, Prof Charlie Wilson will explore the ways in which digitalisation is changing how we move, shop, interact, and manage life at home – and the impact this is having on carbon emissions... for better and for worse.

He will argue that digitalisation can help us make progress towards net-zero emission targets, but only if it is steered in that direction by public policy.

HOW CHILDREN LEARN WORDS: DIFFERENCES & COMMON PROCESSES

Prof Larissa Samuelson (School of Psychology)

Infants and toddlers vary widely in their rate of early word learning – variation that is predictive of later language development and school success.

In this lecture, Prof Larissa Samuelson will discuss the difficulties children face when learning even a single concrete noun, and the work being done in UEA’s Developmental Dynamics Laboratory to understand individual children’s unique word learning pathways – work with the goal of informing interventions for children struggling to learn words.

Time passes by Bishop’s Castle and so did the Luftwaffe. It is a small market town in southwest Shropshire, with a handful of pubs, restaurants, hotel, boarding houses and most importantly a campsite. It is the customary Merseyside IVC arrangement where each member is responsible for his or her accommodation and in the evenings, we meet to eat and plan activities.

The area is good for walking with historic attractions like Stokesay Castle; the country’s finest fortified manor house with Ludlow nearby. The Three Tuns has been brewing its own beer since 1642. In the town are a local museum and a railway museum.

The main party will camp at Foxholes and we will nominate a breakfast café. In previous years, several people have stayed in the town and it worked well.

We arrive on Monday 10th May and leave on Friday 14th May 2021.
