Re-generation Brains – Discussing regenerative medicine in brains with Dr Kiara Bruggeman
You’ve heard it said that brain cells can’t heal, but that’s not the whole story. After all, you built your brain once, so why can’t you do it again?
Join Dr Kiara Bruggeman for an exciting seminar covering nanomaterials that are being developed for regenerative medicine in brains.
This project is supported by Inspiring Australia ACT and the ACT Government.
Science. Art. Film.: Her
Join us after the screening for a lively conversation at the intersection of cybernetics, artificial intelligence, art and science communication. Together, our panel will explore how popular culture helps us imagine the technologies we build. As Her reminds us, the most interesting questions about AI may never have been technical - they are profoundly human!
Science. Art. Film.: The Girl with All the Gifts
Stay for a vibrant and engaging post-screening discussion exploring parasites, fungi, evolution and the surprising ways popular culture turns complex biological concepts into stories that capture the public imagination.
Science. Art. Film.: Minority Report
Join us for a post-screening discussion spanning philosophy, AI, communication, music, science and technology studies. The expert panel will examine how science fiction helps societies rehearse debates about emerging technologies long before they arrive, revealing both our hopes for innovation and our anxieties about control. As algorithms promise ever-greater certainty about our behaviour, Minority Report challenges us to consider what may be lost when prediction begins to rival choice.
