Life and Technology

From the lines of code that run our world to the quantum particles that defy the laws of physics, we are surrounded by complex systems. But how well do we actually understand them?

We have four incredible researchers ready to pull back the curtain on everything from the politics of climate change to the microscopic microbes living in our future energy reservoirs.

Come, meet the experts, and get ready for a night of science that challenges everything you thought you knew!

💻 To break or not to break? That is the question! - James Hobson (Dept. of Informatics, University of Bergen)

We trust software to fly planes and keep us breathing, yet it feels like it’s always breaking. James explores how to design programming languages that make doing the "right thing" easier, so we can finally stop hating our technology.
