VISIT LONDON FOR A SUMMER OF SCIENCE
From international challenges to interactive experiments, these events will add some fascinating new science to sunny days spent in the city.
1 FUTUREFEST TOBACCO DOCK, LONDON 6-7 JULY 2018
If you’re wondering where technology’s taking us, FutureFest will give you answers. With a fascinating combination of politics, philosophy and science, you’ll hear talks from health campaigners, start-up CEOs, and artists. We’re looking forward to gaining a new appreciation of how futurists are solving the biggest challenges of our time, like food insecurity, income inequality and the dwindling job market.
2 TEDX CLAPHAM THE CLAPHAM GRAND, LONDON 17 JUNE 2018
Clapham’s gearing up for its biggest TED event so far, with thoughtprovoking talks from experts in all areas. We’re eager to hear how Richard Ballard is managing to grow greens in disused WWII air raid shelters 30 metres under the streets of London, and we can’t wait for evolutionary anthropologist Anna Machin’s talk – she’s exploring the neuroscience of relationships, be that lover, friend or family member.
3 ROYAL SOCIETY SUMMER SCIENCE EXHIBITION THE ROYAL SOCIETY, LONDON 2-8 JULY 2018
Get yourself along to one of the year’s most hands-on science events, covering everything from malaria vaccines to space exploration. You can control a robotic arm with the electricity of your own muscles, learn why some people are genetically vulnerable to psychopathy, and do a life drawing of a naked mole rat.
