05 June 2013
Cheltenham Science Festival 2013 - Solar superstorms: global threat or storm in a tea cup?
6.30pm to 7.30pm at Cheltenham Town Hall
Our lives revolve around technology. But this reliance means we are at the mercy of phenomena like space weather which can disrupt satellites, power supplies, air travel and other technologies. How much should we worry about this? Could it ever cause a catastrophic electronic black out? And how can we protect ourselves against its effects? Solar scientist Lucie Green is joined by Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering Paul Cannon to explore space weather and its impact on our daily lives.
Tickets cost £9

Cheltenham Science Festival 2013 - The web and us
12.45pm to 1.45pm at Cheltenham Town Hall
It's not a coincidence that patterns of connectivity in our brains are similar to the patterns of connectivity on the Web. The Web is not trying to replicate human intelligence, but it might be getting close because of the way that we, as humans, use it. How will it continue to evolve? Guest Director Wendy Hall leads this discussion about how society is shaping the Web as the Web is shaping society, with neuroscientist Uta Frith, social scientist Aleks Krotoski and Artificial Intelligence engineer Nigel Shadbolt. Joined on stage by Twitter chair Bill Thompson.

Cheltenham Science Festival 2013 - Call my genetically engineered bluff
3.00pm to 4.00pm at Cheltenham Town Hall
A complex algorithm of an event, during which some eminent machines probe, modify, and tell outrageous porkies about the nuts and bolts of obscure technological words and phrases. Base pair Kathy Sykes and Mark Lythgoe, lead the research, assisted by Timandra Harkness, Helen Arney, Frank Burnet and Matt Parker. Uncivil engineer Marcus Moore draws doodles of their findings on the back of an envelope.
