In this dialogue, Prof Christo Doherty, the Chair of Research in the Wits School of Arts, speaks to Dr Ralph Borland, an independent artist-researcher and curator based in Cape Town. Ralph has a degree in Fine Art from the University of Cape Town, a Masters in Interactive Telecommunications from New York University and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. His PhD was a critique of first world design interventions in the developing world. His subsequent post-doctoral work at UCT focused on the African city and North-South knowledge inequalities. He has continued to purse his interest in democratisation and the creative use of emerging technologies with projects such as African Robots, his collaboration with Southern African street artists where he helped them introduce electronics and mechanics to their practice. His art-design piece, Suited for Subversion, a protective and performance suit for street protest in the New York Museum of Modern Art's permanent collection. He co-curated the exhibition Design and Violence at the Science Gallery in Dublin in 2016 and Future Present: Design in a Time of Urgency at the Science Gallery in Detroit. He has just completed a fellowship in the Institute for Humanities in Africa at UCT which he concluded with the exhibition Aesthetic Interventions in Artificial Intelligence in Africa which featured the remarkable collaborative work BoneFlute which we discuss in some detail in this podcast. In this podcast, we discuss how Ralph came to art practice and his first degree, majoring in sculpture, in Fine Art at Michaelis. We examine his lateral move into electrical engineering with his PhD at Trinity and the curatorial work he did at the Dublin Science Gallery. We then unpack in detail his most recent collaborative, and ongoing artistic research project, with the orthopaedic surgeon Dr Rudolph Venter, the flutist, Alessandro Gigli, and the film-maker Dara Kell. Finally we consider the relationship between artistic practice, research, and activism.

For the past seven years, All the Best has collaborated with the University of Melbourne's Centre for Advancing Journalism and the Science Gallery to mentor students in my Audio Journalism class and to provide audio editorial training. These produced narrative podcasts that have been used in the Science Gallery's shows and broadcast on All the Best. This collaboration has allowed students to produce work for broadcast for a public audience for the first time. This year's theme is 'Dark Matter' and All The Best mentors are currently working with students on a brand new batch of stories to fit this theme. You can keep an eye out for those in June, but in the meantime here are some of our favourites from previous years. You'll hear the stories as they were first aired, so get keen to hear voices from hosts of All the Bests' past! Grandpa Delivers The Eulogy At His Funeral by Julia Bergin 2017 Three years prior to his death, Grandpa and father began formal discussions for his funeral. Whilst they disagreed over size and music, there was consensus that Grandpa should speak on the day of his departure. In March this year, the funeral planning committee's recommendations took effect; Grandpa addressed the congregation from his casket, delivering the eulogy at his own funeral. Supervising producer: Jordan Fennell. More Than a Pad by Wing Kuang, Chang He and Inderpreet Kaur 2019 Australians are pretty used to disposable menstrual products.

Sir Jagadish Chandra Bose was a polymath: a physicist, biologist and early writer of science fiction. He pioneered the investigation of radio and microwave optics. He made significant contributions to plant science, designing ingenious devices to measure plant growth and responsiveness. He founded one of India's oldest and most distinguished research institutes. During his life he was honoured at home and in Britain he was knighted for his achievements and made a Fellow of the Royal Society. So why, outside India and his native Bangladesh, is J C Bose not better known? Bridget Kendall asks four historians of science: Bose's biographer Subrata Dasgupta from Lafayette in the United States where he is emeritus professor at the University of Louisiana; Christin Hoene who is assistant professor at Maastricht University in the Netherlands where one of her research interests is the cultural history of radio in colonial India; author, film-maker and historian of science Jahnavi Phalkey who is the Founding Director of Science Gallery in Bangalore, India; and James Poskett who is associate professor at the University of Warwick and author of Horizons: A Global History of Science. The reader is Madhav Vasantha. [Photo: Sir JC Bose, c.1920. Credit: Science & Society Picture Library/Getty Images]

"Circuit Garden celebrates our electronic culture and invites us to contemplate nature – specifically human nature in symbiosis with machine intelligence. Artist Kelly Heaton presents a large-scale circuit board in the form of an artificial lawn that is “planted” with plush sculptural electronic devices. The work evokes a playful garden, or a vintage circuit board that has been enlarged to human scale. Situated in the landscape of Circuit Garden, viewers will discover smaller functional circuits that mimic animal behaviors, such as birdsong and chirping crickets. As the viewer approaches the installation to investigate further, Heaton's analog electronic designs generate these naturalistic sounds in real time. The sonic landscape of Circuit Garden is thus brought to life by electric vibrations of artificial origin and not recordings of real birds and crickets, as one might expect." STATEMENT BY KELLY HEATON: "“Electronic technology is profoundly shaping our world. Many people are symbiotic with their smart phones and digital presence. Artificial intelligence is growing smarter, and our concept of “nature” is being radically transformed by engineering. Electricity is the most important invention since the discovery of fire. Yet, the art of electrical engineering is not well understood or practiced by people outside of the scientific community. I would like to invite everyone—not only engineers—into a conversation about electronic culture, nature, and the rise of machine intelligence. While most artists work with digital media, I focus my creative practice on electronic hardware because circuits are the physical body without which there would be no digital media. Like a biologist studies animals, I study circuits to understand the physiology of intelligent machines. I am inspired by Nikola Tesla's statement, “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” My art explores these concepts literally in the form of circuits that vibrate in naturalistic patterns. Circuit Garden pays homage to electrical oscillation, specifically to the astable multivibrator, which is my favorite method to generate life-like waveforms.”" About the artist: Kelly Heaton is a mixed media artist who believes that electricity is the most important medium of our time. She uses circuits to explore the “spark of life” in biological organisms as well as machines, acting as a techno-spiritualist to portray the immaterial character of her subjects. Heaton's art has been featured in the United States and internationally, including the ADAA Art Show, New York, NY; The Science Gallery at Trinity College, Hartford, CT; the DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA; and three solo shows at Ronald Feldman Fine Arts, NewYork, NY. She is the recipient of grants from The Peter S. Reed Foundation, Creative Capital, LEF Foundation, Council for the Arts at MIT, and the Jacob K. Javitz Fellowship Program. She won the L'Oreal Promotion Prize in the Art and Science of Color for her research with physical pixels and has been awarded residencies at Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA; MIT Center for Advanced Visual Studies, Cambridge, MA; Duke University, Durham, NC; Tortuga Escondida, Akumal, Mexico; and Art Interactive, Cambridge, MA. Heaton received her BA from Yale University and her MS from MIT.

John Powell-Jones, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley and David Blandy talk about how computer and role playing games help us make sense of the world: unpacking our perceptions of reality, our understanding of morality and our awareness of different communities. They discuss their inspirations, working instinctively with different digital technologies and how embracing difficulty is integral to their work. Find out more about CYBERJUNK here Artist Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley uses the forms and imagery of video games to create works that consider "what archives have left out and how we can archive now.” Danielle works predominantly in animation, sound, performance and Video Games to communicate the experiences of being a Black Trans person. Danielle's practice focuses on recording the lives of Black Trans people, intertwining lived experience with fiction to imaginatively retell Trans stories. Spurred on by a desire to record the "History of Trans people both living and past" their work can often be seen as a Trans archive where Black Trans people are stored for the future. "Throughout history, Black queer and Trans people have been erased from the archives. Because of this it is necessary not only to archive our existence, but also the many creative narratives we have used and continue to use to share our experiences." Brathwaite-Shirley Brathwaite-Shirley's work has been exhibited at: ICA, London; Arebyte Gallery, London; David Kordansky Gallery, Los Angeles; Quad, Derby; Science Gallery, London and TATE Modern, London. www.daniellebrathwaiteshirley.com David Blandy investigates the stories and cultural forces that inform and influence our behaviour. Collaboration is central to his practice, examining communal and personal heritage and interdependence. He has developed a gaming art practice writing original RPG's, examining social justice, climate change and posthuman futures. He works in installation, performance, writing, gaming and sound, and has had national and international solo exhibitions of his work. Nominated for the Film London Jarman award with Larry Achiampong in 2018. He has exhibited & performed at venues nationally and worldwide such as Focal Point Gallery, Southend-on-Sea; Kettle's Yard, Cambridge; Art Tower Mito, Tokyo; Kiasma Contemporary Art Museum, Helsinki; Tate Modern, London; The Baltic, Gateshead; Turner Contemporary, Margate; Spike Island, Bristol; Künstlerhaus Stuttgart, Germany; MoMA PS1, New York, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai.

A squat eviction, protests over plans to redevelop the site at the Cobblestone pub and the announcements of closures of the Science Gallery and a much-loved independent bookshop. These individual events, which took place in Dublin last week, may not seem related. But for many people, they symbolise what is seen as the degradation of culture and the character of the capital city. Sorcha Pollak talks to Irish Times columnist Una Mullally and Dublin Editor Olivia Kelly about the changing face of Dublin.Produced by: Declan Conlon, Jennifer Ryan and Suzanne BrennanOpening music by Hugh Rodgerswww.irishtimes.com/podcasts See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This weekend saw the launch of The Science Gallery's latest exhibition - Bias : Built This Way, a showcase exploring how bias moves from humans to machines. We are joined by Julia Kaganskiy, the curator of the exhibition.

“It's great to be back,” Akmon says. “I did work here at the MSU Museum as an undergrad. I did what I like to affectionately refer to as grunt work, painting a lot of walls, helping with a lot of exhibitions, and putting the vinyl on the walls. I was an art history and museum studies student at the time. It's interesting to look back. I really think those were the first steps that actually launched my career. It exposed me to museums in a new way, and I got some theoretical training with some practical hands on experience. And when I left MSU, I ended up going to grad school and studying something completely different. And as luck would have it, instead of actually going into that field, I ended up in a museum as I finished my graduate studies and then began my journey. It's brought me back here almost 20 years later. I would have never imagined that I'd be back here at MSU working for the museum, but it's a bit of a homecoming. It's great to be back.”Akmon describes the mission of Science Gallery Detroit and tells why he was excited to add director of the MSU Museum to his responsibilities. And he shares some of his short- and long-term goals for the Museum.“The very first thing we're going to do is put our heads down and actually put together a strong strategic plan and think about, in that planning process, what are the types of resources we need? What does our programming look like over the next five years? In general, and especially coming out of consulting, I've learned that one of the number one barriers that prohibits organizations from truly flourishing in the arts sector is not planning out far enough. You don't have enough time to think creatively, to fundraise, to market, and to educate your audiences. We're going to put our heads down and really build a strong roadmap. And in that process, we'll really understand and figure out what we're going to do. But I think there are some overarching things we can already assume.“One of the things we realize is we've got this beautiful building. It's an old building, and it's geographically in the heart of the campus. But it's also limited. We already know that we're going to have to find a way of doing a little bit of what I call the push pull model. We want to pull people into the museum, but we're also going to have to push activities out into the campus community. Even this fall, we're already thinking about that with the first exhibition we're going to open when the museum reopens in September. We have some exhibits that we'll probably be embedding in the STEM building, and we'll be partnering with the Greater Lansing Arts Council to do some things up and down Grand River. And we're putting all the programming out over campus, like the workshops and performances. None of that will actually happen in the Museum.“We'll be thinking broadly about how we embed things across the campus community. We know we're competing for time and attention. We have to meet people where they are. We have to be relevant. We have to be creative and innovative in that programming. So, it's really top of mind to think critically about the partnerships we have in student success and academic success and how we support that. We want to be truly relevant in the life of students. Nothing would please me more than to just even see students studying in this building. People think you have to go to a museum only to see exhibitions, but I like to think of this as a third space on campus where people can just come sit and relax. We all had those experiences when we were undergrads, right? There were different places around campus that we went to. So, it's my heart's desire that the Museum will be that for our undergrads today.”Akmon says collaboration with campus partners will be one of his key goals.“I feel so fortunate that I have such great peers that I've already met across campus. My colleague Monica at the Broad Art Museum is just absolutely phenomenal. So are our friends over at the Residential College and our friends over at the Museum Studies Program. Everybody's really keen to collaborate. There's a shared focus on impact on the community. And we all know that we can go farther together than alone. We're already in so many ways coming to the table and thinking together. In fact, the MSU Museum, the Broad Art Museum, and WKAR are going to program an art event shortly after we open. And that just kind of materialized over the course of a week. People just say, ‘Hey, we've got this idea, do you want to be part of it?' You'll see a lot of that at the MSU Museum going forward.”What are some challenges to reaching those goals and some opportunities, too?“There are all kinds of challenges. We know that our campus community is busy. We're competing for time and attention, and we need to be relevant. And that's always a challenge, right? We're in a very loud and noisy world with so many activities happening. We're very pragmatic about the institution we're in. The physical building, as I mentioned, is very old. It has some really wonderful assets to it, but it also has some challenges.“We don't have a lot of gallery space. We don't have a lot of workshop space. Part of the reason that we don't do programming here is we don't have a lot of programming space. So, there are certainly plenty of challenges for not just our museum, but I think museums in general, especially as we navigate COVID. The whole industry and the traditional business model have been disrupted. Figuring even that out is really hard, but I always like to look for the silver linings. I have an entrepreneurial mindset. I like these challenges and it enables us to think boldly and creatively about what a new future can be and how a museum like this can serve its community for that next chapter. We're just going to tackle each challenge in that manner going forward.”What are some of the challenges and opportunities for museums in general and arts and culture in general?“One of the big things right now for museums as I keep alluding to is a very competitive landscape out there. We see attendance declining nationally in museums, which is interesting because museums remain among the absolute most trusted institutions in our country. There are a lot of things that people are pessimistic about, but museums and cultural centers seem to be still rated as trusted institutions. We face these weird challenges where we're trusted and celebrated but attendance is declining. That goes back to this idea of how we compete for time and attention. How do we make sure we're relevant? How are we responding to the needs of the communities we seek to serve? That has to be top of mind. We also really have to think about experience design.“That's what we refer to as the experience economy. And that's really critical. What does it mean to come and visit the museum? What does the experience feel like from the minute you walk into the door to the minute you leave?” When you were coming out of high school, why was MSU the place for you?“I grew up in Metro Detroit, but my dad worked in government. He got transferred up to Flint and we lived in a small town. And one of the first things right away that I fell in love with at Michigan State was the beauty of the campus. I came out here in the summer. And as we all know, summer on the MSU campus is a postcard. So that kind of coupled with the sheer size of it. Some people get intimidated by large schools. For me, it just felt so wonderful to be around so many like-minded and similar aged people. That's what kind of brought me here. My best friends to this day came from here.“I met my wife here as an undergrad. I feel really lucky that I chose MSU. And I often think I just don't feel like it was as competitive as when I was applying to college like it is today. I felt a little bit more free to choose a university that really fit me as opposed to the competitive nature of it. So I just feel really blessed in that regard. And MSU was just an incredibly good experience for me.“As an undergrad, I really began to blend some of my interests, one of which was the City of Detroit. I was doing a lot of photography and lithography work at the time. I was also studying studio art and I was going back and forth between Detroit and East Lansing. And I think that exposure was really critical in my development. I began much more to explore my identity. I'm a third generation Lebanese American, which opened up all kinds of doors for my professional work and museums later in life. I had a rich array of experiences. Not only did I work at the MSU Museum, but I worked for the State News and actually pursued a journalism career for a while before I figured out that wasn't really for me.“There are so many amazing assets here. If you truly embrace those and you explore these opportunities, all kinds of doors open. We grow as individuals, and we begin to see the opportunities out there in the world. I just kind of followed my heart with that. That's why the Science Gallery aspect of our work is still so critical. That really speaks to me. I keep thinking about how important it is for that age group and those experiences as undergrads to think that we can have a role in shaping that in the same way the university helped shape my life. There's an amazing power in that and I hope we can pay that forward.”Summarize what you'd like those joining in on our conversation to know about you and where you want to take the MSU Museum.“People should expect new ideas coming out of the MSU Museum, things they haven't experienced before in the past. This fall, we're going to open a whole new exhibition that explores surveillance and the way it permeates all aspects of our lives. It's going to be a very tech heavy show and probably a little bit unsettling because these are things that we tend to push out of our mind. You're going to see new things in the space programmatically with the exhibitions and certainly the way we engage faculty and students to provide richer experiences for them.

Part of the Humanities Cultural Programme, one of the founding stones for the future Stephen A. Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. This panel discussion and conversation with artist Khaled Kaddal examines The Formula of Giving Heart as a piercing study of our contemporary socio-political environment. Drawing from a variety of theoretical and creative perspectives, the panellists variously explore such themes as the global increase in physical confinement(s), the rise of cybernetics and biodata, and the continued privileging of contemporary science/medicine as distinct from other historical practices of healing. Exploring these phenomena amid a backdrop of global precarity, The Formula for Giving Heart forges fascinating linkages between seemingly disparate phenomena. It demonstrates how spatial imprisonment exists in and through hyperlinked and technologized (global) networks, ancient Pharaonic languages map onto and exist as contemporary (computer) code, and apparently distinct socio-political events—from the Coronavirus pandemic to the 2011 Egyptian revolution—can feel familiar through the very extraordinary nature of their temporal and affective regimes. Exploring these themes through the world premiere of Kaddal's newest work, this panel broadly considers our present moment as well as the shifting nature of sonic and visual performance during a time of global crisis and ever increasing technologization. Christopher Haworth is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Music at the University of Birmingham. His scholarly interests lie in the broad areas of electronic music and sound art, which he researches using a mixture of historiographic, philosophical, and ethnographic research methods. He is currently researching the short-lived 'cyber theory' moment that accompanied mid-1990s hype for the internet and World Wide Web in Britain, and he was previously an AHRC Early Career Leadership Fellow on Music and the Internet: Towards a Digital Sociology of Music. He also composes computer music, often incorporating principles from psychoacoustics, music psychology, and cybernetics. Khaled Kaddal is a Nubian visual artist and sound performer, raised in Egypt and currently resident in London. Allaying science and politics, spirituality and technology, he works with two interdependent abstractions; ‘Immortality of Time' and ‘Sovereignty of Space', in search for the imperishable balance between intelligence, emotions and moral judgments.

Dianne Bos does not look at her life linearly. At every opportunity she is open to learning and challenging her perception about the world around her. Speaking with Dianne was electric – she loops ideas and processes together seamlessly with a healthy dose of enthusiasm. Knowing that Dianne defines herself as an Artist and that she does not limit herself to only one method of creation makes understanding her enthusiasm and varied career easier. In speaking with Dianne, I learnt how creativity is something that can be seen as fluid and fed by connection to the world around you. By staying open to experimentation, questioning and a continued sense of play – we are able to continue to push the limits of our own creativity. And in my opinion, pushing boundaries is the premise of a creative practice so that we can learn, grow and change. Dianne’s recently updated website is at…. https://diannebos.ca/ Biography… Dianne Bos was born in 1956 in Hamilton, Ontario, and grew up in Dundas where she happily explored the Niagara Escarpment. Always interested in art and science, she studied Fine Arts at Mount Allison University. There she developed an interest in photography through sculpture and science, by creating her own cameras. That interest has continued to this day.  Many of Bos’s recent exhibitions feature handmade cameras, walk-in light installations, and sound pieces. These tools and devices formulate and extend her investigations of journeying, time, and the science of light. This work appeared in the traveling exhibits; Poetics of Light: Pinhole Photography, New Mexico Museum, Seeing, Science Gallery, Dublin Ireland. ‘See the Stars,’ a multi-aperture tent installation created for the ‘Midnight Sun Camera Obscura Festival’ in Dawson City, Yukon and Star Shed at McMaster Museum in Hamilton.

Pfizer Healthcare Ireland has released new research findings investigating the public’s interest in science and the role of STEM-related subjects in both primary and secondary education. The research conducted by B&A shows that just one in eight Irish people believe they have a high-level knowledge of science, while half of the people (49%) believe they have moderate knowledge. Men and younger adults are more likely to suggest a high level of knowledge. When it comes to education, just under half (47%) of those surveyed believed achieving the leaving cert points required to secure a 3rd level STEM course would be too difficult. Whilst 79% of respondents would like to see more focus of science in primary school. Meanwhile, 72% of those who studied a science subject at leaving cert studied biology for the Leaving Certificate compared to just 6% studying computer science in secondary school. However, this year shows a significant increase in the number of people studying computer science at college or university (42 per cent) compared to Index figures last year (29 per cent). Meanwhile just over one in ten (11%) of people work in a STEM profession in Ireland, however, the research also confirms a significant gender gap in the percentage of men (15%) and women (7%) working in STEM-related careers. 35% (1 in 3) feel there are more STEM opportunities in Ireland than elsewhere, with younger adults and those in Dublin and particularly those working in a STEM most likely to agree. Almost two-thirds (62%) believe that people leaving college with a STEM qualification have better career prospects than those with a non-STEM qualification. The research also reveals the importance of science within the eyes of the public, with 59% strongly agreeing that scientific advance is now more important in light of COVID-19. The research launches in tandem with Pfizer and Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin new digital-led initiative, Speed of Science which tells the historical story of vaccines and the role of scientific advancement in society. The windows of Science Gallery Dublin on Pearse Street also feature an installation of the initiative where passers-by can get a glimpse of what to expect. The initiative takes us on a journey through scale; moving from personal immunity – examining how the body responds to vaccination, through a local scale looking at community immunity, to a global scale – demonstrating the transformation of societies and health systems through vaccinations. Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science Simon Harris TD said: “This valuable research gives us an insight into people’s perceptions towards science, and the barriers that still exist. We can also see the imbalance in the representation of women in STEM professions. It demonstrates to me as Minister the huge body of work we have to do to excite and encourage people about science and its impact on our daily lives. We need science more than ever in this post-Covid world and we want and need Ireland to be a leader in this field.” Paul Reid, Managing Director, Pfizer Healthcare Ireland, said, “This new online-led initiative and installation in the Science Gallery aims to enhance public engagement with scientific themes and make science accessible and fun for all age groups. The topic of vaccines is obviously a topical one. Immunization is a global health and development success story, saving millions of lives every year in a very cost-effective manner. Vaccines help to prevent more than 20 life-threatening diseases (such as hepatitis, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, measles and polio), helping people of all ages live longer, healthier lives. “At Pfizer, science is at the centre of everything we do and now more than ever we all appreciate and value the importance of science. In challenging times, we consistently come back to what we historically can rely on and we know throughout history the fundamenta...

This history of the corporation is a meandering and expanding one but one thing that is common among them, more often than not, is that the profit motive overshadows the potential negative impacts they have on society and the place we all call home. While today’s landscape of corporate structure has broadened to include more mission driven, or worker owned structures, there remain mechanisms in place and questions left unasked that keep the corporation fundamentally flawed. In this session we will hear from leading experts who are asking those questions and are developing mechanisms that can radically move the goalpost. SPEAKERSColin Mayer is the Peter Moores Professor of Management Studies at the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford.

Public engagement through science and art. A new initiative is opening it's doors in Detroit and it's just the second of its kind in the country.  WWJ's Jason Scott spoke with Devon Akmon, the director of Science Gallery Detroit.

In this episode I recorded in the fall, and have sat on it until now. I think it will be especially intriguing for those of you who have considered a next step in education and those who are continually looking to educate themselves. After graduating from Kingston University in graphic design, and seeking advice from designers she admired, Stacie Woolsey, who I’m going to be talking to today found that postgraduate education was, unofficially, the only way in. But when she realized it would cost her £40,000 including living expenses, she came up with the Make Your Own Masters project: a series of briefs she requested from designers, and completed in her own time, between bar jobs. She completed four projects over 18 months which resulted in a final project which she exhibited in her own “design show”. The four projects she did were based around anthropological futures - the study of current behaviours for future speculation. The four projects were: New Coal - a project that looks at a speculative future for working class mining towns Faith in the Fish - a study on micro-plastics as a modern parasite Milk - how we might redesign milk for those who actually need it Dirty Soaps - a project about exposing infants to just enough dirt, while maintaining the parental need to nurture and protect. In her words, M.Y.O.M. HAS ALLOWED AND ENABLED HER TO: Forge her discipline ‘Anthropological Futures’ - making her the only graduate in this field. Have confidence in her own work, her voice and what she can bring to this industry. Build a professional network of 100+ peers, mentors and briefers. Develop a portfolio that has allowed her to work with brands and institutions such as Selfridges, BBC, ICA, John Lewis, Science Gallery, Dezeen and more. I made two rookie mistakes with this episode. The first is that I went ahead with the podcast even though the room she was in was a bit noisy, so her audio isn’t great. The second is that I forgot to begin the recording for the first few minutes… hmmm. Anyways, in the beginning she talked about how she found out that she was dyslexic at 18 and that Because she didn’t realize it for so long, she had to work really hard to learn things and figure them out in different ways. I began to speculate that that is one of the reasons she got creative and figured out how to get a masters without the 40,000 pounds or roughly 46,000 USD. She spoke about how Make Your Own Masters came about. She worked at some design firm not learning much of what she wanted to learn, while realizing she wasn’t really a designer, but still wanted to create projects worth having in her portfolio, so she decided to do what she calls “freelance learning” - intentional, self driven learning. "We need to make education less elitist and create practical solutions that are not restricted by income, location or background." - Stacie Woolsey

In our latest Documentary on Newstalk, producers Shaun O’Boyle and Maurice Kelliher present a programme which marks the first 10 years of Science Gallery; a game-changing public gallery space in Dublin that redefined the relationship between science, art, and culture—in ‘Science Gallery: 10 Years of Art Meets Science’. In 2008, a former car park on Pearse Street, at the edge of Trinity College Dublin, was replaced by a new kind of science museum: Science Gallery Dublin. A world first, Science Gallery has altered the cultural and scientific landscape in Ireland—and internationally. Before 2008, there was a widespread mistrust of science and scientists in Ireland, despite a massive investment by the government since the 1980s in scientific research. Irish scientists wanted to change that, but still hadn’t figured out the best way to connect with the public on scientific issues. Unlike most countries, Ireland has never had a traditional science museum, a place to house artefacts of our scientific history or interactive exhibits pointing at our scientific future. Strangely, this has worked in our favour. When the opportunity for Ireland to have its first space dedicated to bringing science to a public audience, we ended up with something far from your typical science museum. Science Gallery was born at a time when ideas around museums and galleries [and their audiences] were evolving: moving away from large museums and towards smaller spaces, connecting with audiences, ushering in a culture where galleries and museums were in a ‘conversation’ with their audiences. Science was also changing. Scientists were moving away from the strict boundaries that used to enclose each scientific discipline, and instead embracing the potential for discovery and innovation when you break down those barriers and work across those disciplines. In fact, some of the most exciting ideas were coming from collaborations between scientists and those working in the arts and humanities. So, when Michael John Gorman was appointed as the Founding Director of Science Gallery, he set out to create a space that would capture this new culture of science, culture, and creativity. Science Gallery Dublin became a space (both physically, and intellectually) where science converses with art; and an ever-changing programme of exhibitions and events meant that audiences could keep coming back to explore art/science investigations into subjects such as: personal data, love, risk, memory, infection, weather/climate, and trauma. 2018 marked the 10th birthday of Science Gallery in Dublin, a game-changing public space that redefined our relationship with science, art, and culture. As this idea, born in Ireland, becomes a massive international network, we look at how this small gallery on Pearse Street became such an important cultural and scientific space—nationally and globally. The radio premiere of Science Gallery: 10 Years of Art Meets Science will air on Newstalk on Sunday 10th November 2019 at 7am, with a repeat broadcast on Saturday 16th November at 9pm Podcast from www.newstalk.com after the first broadcast Credits: Produced, recorded, and edited  by Shaun O’Boyle and Maurice Kelliher (aka Bureau).

Today, we’re chatting with Dr Niels Wouters, Head of Research and Emerging Practice for Science Gallery Melbourne and Research Fellow in the Interaction Design Lab at the University of Melbourne.   Dr Wouters’ research focuses on social good and the human element of technology, especially as it pertains to AI and Human-Computer Interaction. A renowned speaker across national and international media, Wouters regularly speaks about the impacts of new technology on urban life. He has been featured on The Sydney Morning Herald, ABC, BBC, The Washington Times, World Economic Forum, Dazed Digital and CNN.   Dr Wouters is the creator of Biometric Mirror, Stories of Exile, Encounters, and Street Talk. His work will be featured in a permanent Science Gallery exhibit in Melbourne.   During today’s discussions, Dr Wouters will explain the purpose behind such fascinating projects as Biometric Mirror and the implications of trusting an AI trained on subjective data. He will also lead us through the journey of Street Talk and the very human, life-changing connections made via technology placed on the outside of homes in Belgium. How can technology bring us together as a community? How might unreliable AI be used against us in the future?   Today, we will explore these questions and more with one of society’s most creative researchers on Human-Machine Interaction, Dr Niels Wouters. Street Talk - What happens when you equip family homes with technologies that engage the outside world? Explore the results of note printers for passersby, LED ambient noise detectors, and even a headphone that lets others hear the conversations within the home. How do we treat data privacy differently when looking at digital data vs. linking people in analogue ways? How did Dr Niels Wouters go from computer science to finance to architecture to find a home here linking science, art, ethics, and the human element? How is Science Gallery bringing together artists and scientists to stir interest in STEM among young adults? What’s happening with Science Gallery in Melbourne? Biometric Mirror - How do people react to an AI that determines their gender, age, ethnicity, weirdness, aggression, and emotional instability? What if that data were used against them for job selection or insurance rates? How simple is it to build an AI from an unreliable dataset? And how open are people to believe an assessment is correct due to the simple fact it was made by a machine? What is AI’s impact on human rights? What concerns does a university’s ethics review committee have surrounding a project like Biometric Mirror? What are the ethics behind showing AI-generated attractiveness assessments to young adults? Are young people more or less likely to accept a machine-generated assessment as fact? Which sci-fi future are we in the midst of creating? The Jetsons? Bladerunner? Black Mirror? Or something else entirely? Eliza’s “granddaughter” shows up as a special guest. What’s coming in the future? Will there be a Biometric Mirror 3.0? Beyond facial recognition, what would happen if Wouters hacked an Alexa to do unexpected things? How will Biometric Mirror be used as an ethics probe? What’s next for Science Gallery? What two or three things could listeners and legislators do now to jumpstart AI ethics in Australia?

There is nothing new for chemistry to discover, says Bernie Bulkin. In Solving Chemistry: A Scientist's Journey, the former Head of Science at BP argues that an unprecedented event has happened: a branch of science has made all the major discoveries it is likely to make. He tells Tom Sutcliffe what this means for chemistry - and for science more broadly. Medicine is in the midst of 'a biomedical revolution' says Professor Sir Robert Lechler. His own field of kidney transplants has been transformed by our new understanding of the immune system. He has helped to curate Spare Parts, an exhibition at the Science Gallery that poses the question: how many transplants could we have before we were no longer ourselves? Elizabeth Pisani has watched interest in different diseases rise and fall. As an epidemiologist she charts the impact that press attention and public grants have on medical research, with some becoming fashionable while in others treatments lag behind. And she warns that scientists too often fail to take account of the human context when delivering medicines. Astrophysicist Jo Dunkley assesses our understanding of the universe in a concise new guide. But the universe is 85% dark matter - and we still know very little about this. She draws attention to the brilliant female scientists who contributed to breakthroughs in physics, but whose contributions have been forgotten along the way.

We discuss the psychology behind addiction with London’s Science Gallery, meet artist Zak Ové, leaf through the weekend papers, find out how to deal with a natural disaster and visit Bluebird Café in London. Bluebird Café As the 20 year-old café expands across London, we discuss how an old favourite keeps up.

... at the National Museum of Ireland A crucial element of the museum is the human connection it offers. For both visitors and researchers, the museum has potentially a very different interaction with our history. It is a place of conversations, of shared experience and knowledge, and of shared narrative. Contemporary collecting and the broader policy around thoughts for the future requires some different thinking. Particularly in relation to the kind of museum we want to be, one that is open, accessible and diverse - a place of excellent research and compelling visitor experiences. A place that tells the many stories of our country and its people in a global context. About the speaker Lynn Scarff is the newly appointed Director of the National Museum of Ireland, taking up her position in May 2018. Initially, working in environmental education across a diversity of projects including the Ballymun Regeneration, Lynn's work is embedded in collaborative practice. As part of the initial development team of Science Gallery Dublin at Trinity College Dublin, she developed a programme of compelling cultural experiences that explored the boundaries of art and science and connected with a target audience of 15 – 25 year olds.

“As you may refer to a Dickens novel or a piece of artwork to help contextualize a cultural or lifestyle issue, so you could also bring your science to bear. When you’re looking at the world as a round, you probably want to bring in a scientific perspective, even if you’re not a scientist because that is how the world is.” Dan Glaser is all about crossovers. He is a neuroscientist and co-Director of Science Gallery London, located at King’s College London, where the main message is that art and science are intricately linked. Science Gallery is a space and project that was started in Dublin, Ireland and aims to make science a cultural event that targets 15-25 year olds from neighborhoods that wouldn’t typically be included in science or art campaigns. The exhibits are a testament to social justice and are co-created with the target audience, getting input from 15-25 year olds in the neighborhoods from before the topic is even chosen. Dan also writes a weekly column in The Observer where he gives current event news a scientific twist, like Brexit.

TV experts Laura Slattery and Bernice Harrison join Fionn and Laurence to talk about Channel 4 drama Humans, in which humanoid helpers cause their masters untold problems in the home, the workplace and the bedroom, and Showtime's The Affair, a tale of infidelity told from different and sometimes contradictory perspectives. In part two: If computers reach and exceed human intelligence, what kind of world will that be? For Tim Urban of waitbutwhy.com, it's a matter of when, not if. Ian Brunswick of The Science Gallery is less convinced. They join Fionn and Laurence to speculate wildly. Off Topic is a weekly podcast produced by Sinead O'Shea and researched by Declan Conlon.

DNA: it's the genetic information that makes plants and animals what we are. Most of the time when you hear about it in the context of food, it's to do with breeding. But in this short episode, we bring you two DNA detective stories that show how genetic analysis can rewrite the history of agriculture and fight food fraud—at least some of the time. Listen now to hear how preserved DNA from an underwater site off the coast of Britain is helping paint a picture of how hunter gatherers in Northern Europe might first have experienced the wonders of agriculture, by trading kernels of exotic, domesticated Near Eastern wheat over long distances. We'll also explore DNA's role in some controversial accusations of food fraud and introduce you to the mysterious publication that defines the official standards of identity for food ingredients. And, finally, we squeeze in a short trip to Dublin's Science Gallery, to talk to chef Clare Anne O'Keefe about a dish that was entirely inspired by Gastropod! EPISODE NOTES“Britain Imported Wheat 2,000 Years before Growing It” Listen to Cynthia's mini-podcast for Scientific American on the surprising results from DNA testing of an underwater archaeological site in the English Channel, as reported in the paper “Sedimentary DNA from a submerged site reveals wheat in the British Isles 8000 years ago,” published in the journal Science. In a blog post reviewing the findings, archaeobotanist Dorian Fuller speculates that these early grains “would have been symbolically charged as exotica much like spices in much later times.”“Waiter, I'll have the Gastropod special!” To accompany Nicky's recent public event—a conversation with Ross Golden-Bannon at the Science Gallery, Dublin, called “A Plateful of Food Culture”—chef Clare Anne O'Keefe created a special dish to serve in the Science Gallery cafeteria, incorporating a variety of ideas and foods we've featured on Gastropod! She used potatoes, seaweed, and subnatural foods, and mixed history and science on the plate. Listen to our episode to hear Clare Anne describe the meal. The Gastropod special, photographed by its creator, Chef Clare Anne O'Keefe.“How Not to Test a Dietary Supplement” Check out Nicky's piece for The New Yorker‘s Elements blog for more on the New York State Attorney General's attempt to crack down on alleged dietary supplement fraud, the International Barcode of Life database, the United States Pharmacopeial Convention, and why this particular case of DNA detective work is likely to be an ongoing story… The post DNA Detectives appeared first on Gastropod.

Anaesthetics. General anaesthetic is an essential part of modern medicine. Millions of surgical procedures, many life-saving, simply could not be performed without rendering the patient unconscious with one of a long list of drugs that induce anaesthesia. But, we don't know how they work. Part of this mystery is because we're not entirely sure what we mean when we say unconscious. But part of it is that there's a whole fleet of different molecules than can work as an anaesthetic, so there's no well-known pathway we can study. Neuroscientist, Luca Turin at the Alexander Fleming Research Center in Greece thinks that the answer to how they work, could lie, not at the chemical level, but at the quantum level. 2014 Iquique Earthquake in Chile Before the massive 8.1-8.2 Magnitude earthquake struck Iquique in Chile, in April, this year, there were a series foreshocks at the fault line. Adam Rutherford asks Roland Pease if these creaks could be a way of warning us about an imminent big quake in the future. They also discuss whether the stress released by the megathrust quake means the region will be seismically inactive for a while. The experts think not. Strange Weather We are obsessed with the weather. It is a powerful, shared daily experience, offering us an immediate talking point. Yet when we talk about climate change the sense of guilt or powerlessness can often be enough to kill the conversation. A new exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin aims to engage conversations about both weather and climate in a playful, provocative way. By bringing together works by artists, designers, scientists, meteorologists and engineers STRANGE WEATHER asks questions such as: Should human culture be reshaped to fit strange weather or should we reshape weather to fit our strange culture? Who is going to take advantage of climate chaos and how will strange weather benefit me? How will you choose to work, celebrate, live and die when weather gets weird? Strange Weather runs at Science Gallery, Trinity College Dublin from 18th July to 5th October 2014 Neutrinos A listener writes in to ask if we will ever run out of room in our Universe for the trillions and trillions of neutrinos being created. Malcolm Fairbairn at Kings College London does the maths. Jellyfish Last year was a record for jellyfish sightings off the UK coast. We know very little about our jellyfish, and experts at the Marine Conservation Society want to know more. They're set up a survey, complete with photographic guides and reporting forms for you to send in your sightings of these coastal visitors. Producer: Fiona Roberts.

La exposición 'Traslaciones: Nueva estación' es un proyecto promovido por la Fundación Municipal de Cultura, Educación y Universidad Popular del Ayuntamiento de Gijón y LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial dentro del Festival del Arcu Atlánticu. Su objetivo es abrir un canal de comunicación entre Dublín y Gijón. Esta vía de intercambio está conectada por dos residencias en Plataforma 0. Centro de Producción de LABoral de Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial. La artista irlandesa Rosie O’Reilly con su obra 'Las Estaciones como formas fluidas' y la asturiana Alicia Jiménez con 'Eclíptica terrestre' centran su trabajo en la exploración conjunta de las relaciones entre arte y ciencia.

La obra de Alicia Jiménez 'Eclíptica terrestre' forma parte, junto a la obra de Rosie O'Reilly 'Las Estaciones como formas fluidas', de la exposición 'Traslaciones: Nueva estación' incluida en el Festival Arcu Atlánticu de Gijón. La artista propone, en 'Eclíptica terrestre', un acercamiento a la complejidad del cosmos. Gracias a una serie de viejos electrodomésticos dispuestos en orden, a la manera de planetas que giran en torno al Sol, la artista reflexiona sobre el rol activo que estas máquinas desempeñan en la vida cotidiana, al tiempo que trata de representar cómo se producen los cambios de estación al trasladarse la Tierra alrededor del eje del Sol. La artista desarrolla la interactividad de su instalación con el apoyo del equipo de Plataforma 0 (Centro de producción de LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial). Residencia de Producción en LABoral: 01.07.2014 - 31.07.2014 Exposición en el Centro de Cultura Antiguo Instituto: 31.07.2014 - 07.09.2014 En colaboración con Science Gallery, Dublín.
