SUMMARY:"Benford's Law" and "Using Viruses to Cure Cancer"
DESCRIPTION:Benford’s Law (by Max Beran\, Didcot & District U3A)\nTake any large set of numerical data\, like those on the financial pages of the newspapers. The digits themselves may appear to be entirely random\, but are they really? You’ll be amazed by what Benford’s Law tells us about the hidden patterns within these numbers\, how it can help with data verification\, and even how it thwarted Donald Trump’s bid to overturn the US election results! \nUsing Viruses to Cure Cancer (by David McLellan\, Torridge U3A)\nAfter the traumas of the pandemic\, another virus story is perhaps the last thing you’d want to hear about. But wait: the same technologies that gave us the vaccine may soon deliver something even more far-reaching – a cure for cancer. Oncolytic viruses\, which have a natural ability to target cancer cells more avidly than healthy cells\, can now be genetically engineered to attack only these cells\, opening up exciting new possibilities for safer and more effective treatments. \nTo view the recording\, click here… ‘Benfords Law’ & ‘Oncolytic Viruses’ video \nTo contact us about the Science & Technology group\, click here… Get in touch

SUMMARY:Understanding the Human Perception of Colour
DESCRIPTION:Leigh Edwards (Exeter u3a) explains how our eyes and brain perceive and interpret the colours of light and pigments in the world around us\, and just how easily we can be fooled by them. \nTo view the recording\, click here… ‘Colour Perception’ video \nTo contact us about the Science & Technology group\, click here… Get in touch
