SUMMARY:What Do We Really Know About Microplastics?
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Iseult Lynch \n  School of Geography\, Earth and Environmental Sciences\, Professor of Environmental Nanosciences\nMicroplastics have become one of today’s most talked-about environmental issues\, but how much do we really know? \nJoin Professor Iseult Lynch of the University of Birmingham as she explores the latest scientific evidence\, separating established facts from popular assumptions. Drawing on her internationally recognised research into microplastics\, nanomaterials and environmental systems\, she will examine what current science reveals\, where uncertainties remain\, and how researchers are improving our understanding of these invisible pollutants. \nAn engaging and thought-provoking afternoon for anyone interested in science\, the environment and informed debate. \nIf you are not already subscribed\, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/

SUMMARY:The Geology of Iceland
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: John Collis \nJohn Collis has kindly stepped into the breach to enable our October meeting to go ahead. He will be giving a layperson’s introduction to the geology of Iceland and hopes that this will stimulate a discussion as part of the meeting. Many thanks John for coming to the rescue. \nImage: Kirkjufellsfoss mountain and Barnafoss river in Iceland by Wirestock on Magnific \nImage by Magnific. \nSubscribe to Geology

SUMMARY:The Power of Hydraulics
DESCRIPTION:As a technology\, hydraulic fluid power has been around since the Industrial Revolution\, more than 200 years ago. And in industries as diverse as transport\, manufacturing\, construction and waste disposal\, this instant and precisely controllable source of power\, generated by a pressurised liquid in a confined space\, continues to shape the modern world. In this light-hearted presentation\, guest speaker Steve Skinner\, with the aid of some eye-catching animations\, will reveal some of its many applications\, past and present. From the familiarity of London’s iconic Tower Bridge to the surreal alternative reality of taking 700 intrepid Victorians on a simulated sea voyage in the centre of Paris\, hydraulic fluid power has been one of our most versatile technologies\, and remains so today. \nTo view the recording\, click here… “The Power of Hydraulics”\n(recordings are for personal/private use only – please do not share this link) \nTo contact us about the Science & Technology group\, click here… Get in touch

SUMMARY:New Tech - When Does it Change the Workplace?
DESCRIPTION:20th October 3pm to 5pm \nThis month I’m delighted to invite Phill Fox to come and talk to us about how generative AI might impact our workplace and jobs.  Phill is an AdaptaKind Ambassador for the Adaptavist Group – I saw him present at the Shambala festival as part of the CERN festival program. \nPlenty of time is reserved for discussions … since generative AI is so much in the news at the moment\, I’m expecting a lively discussion. \nJoining details will be emailed to subscribers.  If you aren’t a member\, it’s free to join here https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-computing-forum/.

SUMMARY:Music\, Seen: the colour of music\, and the sound of light
DESCRIPTION:Unfortunately\, Dr Emma Chapman has been taken ill and is unable to give her planned presentation. \nWe are very pleased\, however\, that Professor Milton Mermikides\, will be joining us instead on Monday 26th October at 3 pm\, with his presentation The Music of Light and Colour.  \nSpeaker: Professor Milton Mermikides \n  Professor of Music\, University of Surrey and Gresham Professor of Music   \nThe colours of a rainbow and the notes of a musical scale may seem worlds apart. Yet both can be explored through patterns\, frequencies and relationships. Professor Milton Mermikides examines the science behind light and colour\, the physical nature of sound\, and the remarkable ways our senses interpret these different forms of information. Beginning with Newton’s investigations into the spectrum\, he follows attempts to connect colour with musical pitch and explores how technology can transform visual images into sound. Join us for a stimulating journey across physics\, music\, neuroscience and the science of perception. \nIf you are not already subscribed\, subscription is free and you will receive joining details and news about forthcoming Leading Edge meetings https://u3acommunities.org/subscribe-to-leading-edge/
