More Information
This will be my final season of The Cut Science Café, which started informally in 2012, by 2014 it was sufficiently well established to be in the printed programme, by 2016 we had sold out audience numbers and had to take over the Theatre as well as the café. In March 2022 our 10th anniversary, we exceeded capacity of both areas and sold many recordings of the event. I appreciate your support and thank our many speakers and my team of volunteers, all of whom, myself included, are unpaid for our work for the Cut. Thank you all, Dr Umi Hashim.
6-9 pm £6.00 Doors open from 6pm and the talks start at 7pm, after a refreshment break, during which written questions can be submitted, The Q & A session runs from 815 to 9pm.

THURSDAY 26 JANUARY SUSTAINABLE AVIATION:
Professor Chris Atkin of UEA will take us through the Jekyll & Hyde story of air transport. Unfortunately its many benefits may have been at the expense of despoiling the
atmosphere. Chris will explain how engineers strive to balance societal demands with planetary preservation. Book this flight into our future now HERE.
THURSDAY 23 FEBRUARY: VISION, ILLUSION & CONFUSION
Professor Paul Hibbard of Essex University will explain how our eyes and Brains create our perception of living in a three-dimensional world, usually accurately but occasionally illusory. Comparing Artificial intelligence [AI] with our own visual system, particularly of illusions can give us valuable insight (!) into both AI and our own perceptions. Must be seen to be believed! Bookings are now open HERE.
