What happens if you fill a pub with clever and lovely people then invite loads of amazing Goldsmiths scientists to entertain them?
Join us on Wednesday 15 March for a chaotic science cabaret in the Amersham Arms, featuring a line-up of Goldsmiths experts who will delve into the weird and wonderful side of computer science and psychology.
Expect laughs, serial killers, Brad Pitt, a high-tech smart glove, facts that sound totally made up but aren’t, and loads of terrible PowerPoints. Compered by comedian Steve Cross. The line-up:
- Mark d’Inverno (Computing): Why machines can never be creative – the history and future of creativity
- Hadeel Ayoub (Computing): Let’s have a talk… glove to glove
- Sarah Wiseman (Computing): People are weird: Why we shouldn’t experiment on students
- Caoimhe McAnena (Psychology): The psychology of the Croydon Cat Killer
- Ashok Jansari (Psychology): What’s the difference between Brad Pitt and a Super-cop?
- Robert Chapman (Psychology): Why science reporting isn’t funny
