Fight the Fear: special event co-hosted by #GeorgeTalks
https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/fight-the-fear-tickets-61981042968 You are invited to join us to ‘Fight the Fear’ at this special event co-hosted by #GeorgeTalks and the UNSW Sydney Grand Challenges Program What we don’t understand often looks dangerous, and the barriers of our own anxieties are hard to get over. The incomprehensible power of new and complex ideas and technologies see us pull back in fear. These reactions stop us from thinking – so maybe if we want to be able to deal with change, we need to dive into what seems dangerous. This series of three short talks will delve into some of our most dangerous ideas and technologies - artificial intelligence, nanoparticles and gene drives – to reconsider how we might avoid panic and leverage the opportunities that are presented to us. An audience Q & A will follow the talks. Light breakfast & networking opportunity on arrival. 7.30am for a 7.45am start. Limited spaces - RSVP by COB 26 June 201...
