UCL200 and the Royal Society current this particular collaboration, marking UCL’s Bicentenary with a panel of UCL’s visionary science communicators with analysis experience spanning advances in drugs, rising applied sciences, the way forward for meals and sustainability. Together, the panellists will discover a few of the most essential ways in which science will form the subsequent 200 years.
The night guarantees a wealthy, high-energy dialogue on the cosmic organic, technological and materials foundations of each day life. The occasion invitations open dialog and debate and will focus on viewers questions as we mirror on how science can serve future generations.
Hosted by Mark Miodownik MBE, materials scientist, engineer, broadcaster and award-winning writer, the panel will convey collectively main voices together with:
– Dame Polina Bayvel is a Royal Society Research Professor and Professor of Optical Communications & Networks at UCL and her contributions have been recognised with main honours.
– Kevin Fong OBE is a health care provider, broadcaster and science communicator recognized for his distinctive profession traversing emergency drugs, astrophysics and house exploration. He has labored for NASA and hosts The NHS: Who Cares?

Mark Miodownik, Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science (UCL Department of Mechanical Engineering) stated:
“In a world changing so fast it may seem a ridiculous task to look far ahead and to speculate on how science and engineering will influence the evolution of human civilisation. But 200 years ago innovators at UCL, the Royal Society and other far-sighted institutions did just that. Through their brilliance and endeavour they created our modern world with its advanced healthcare, transport and food production systems. I am excited to be part of an event where we look ahead optimistically the next 200 years of human life on this and other planets.”
