The human brain is surely one of the most complex and fascinating creations in all of nature. It's through them that we experience the world around us, develop knowledge and skills, and carry within us memories of events and experiences that occurred decades in the past, which we can later draw on to face new challenges. But when it comes to understanding exactly what is going on between our ears, we're only just starting to scratch the surface. Could artificial intelligence technology help us in this quest? In this episode, we're joined by Prof Andrew Saxe, a computational neuroscientist based at University College London. He tells us about the work his lab is carrying out on modelling the function of our brains using artificial intelligence, what this research has already uncovered about how our brains learn and what we can look forward to discovering in the coming decade or so. Andrew is a finalist for the Blavatnik Awards for Young Scientists.   https://blavatnikawards.org/news/items/finalists-announced-2025-uk-blavatnik-awards-young-scientists/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Thousands of members of the public descended upon the RDS in Dublin for day two of the 61st BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) today, which also saw the curtain lift on this year's Primary Science Fair. The Primary Science Fair, which is an integral, non-competitive part of the exhibition, gives third to sixth class primary school students across Ireland the chance to learn more about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), make friends, and have fun! BT Young Scientist This year, over 1,000 primary school students representing 35 schools across Ireland are showcasing their projects at the RDS Dublin today, January 09 and tomorrow, January 10. The ideas that students have developed across the seventy projects on display cover a wide range of STEM topics, such as biodiversity, energy forces and living things. The projects are judged by former BTYSTE overall winners, some of whom previously participated in the Primary Science Fair themselves, and who volunteer their time to support the growth of interest in STEM in younger generations. Elsewhere at the RDS, the anticipation is mounting amongst the BTYSTE participants, as in just twenty-fours' time, the winning projects will be announced. Finalists were at the ready to showcase their projects to the judging panel. Speaking on the judging process, Dr Peter Taylor, 2025 BTYSTE judge said: ''It's an honour to be a part of the judging panel at the 61st BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition and join all the team at BT Ireland in celebrating 25 years as custodian of this phenomenal event. I feel very lucky to have played a part at the exhibition throughout those years, first as a participant and overall winner in 2001 and now for several years judging the amazing projects from finalists. This year has been no different when it comes to the calibre of entries on display, and the judges and I have an extremely challenging task of choosing the winners in the hours ahead. The BTYSTE was my first exposure to the world of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), and the exhibition played no small part in steering my career into a STEM field. I am delighted to see so many young people in Ireland enter the exhibition each year, and to see the event itself evolve into the national and cultural institution it has become today. I congratulate all this year's finalists for their incredible work - they should be extremely proud for getting this far.'' Tomorrow, final judging and deliberation will get underway from early, before the 2025 BTYSTE awards ceremony begins at 5:30pm. Anticipation is already building to find out which projects will be recognised this year, in addition to the announcement of the overall winner for 2025. Additionally, 60 brilliant stands from the exhibition's partners, including the Department of Education, Analog Devices, Amgen, Stripe and RTÉ will be set up throughout the RDS.

BT is excited to announce that applications are now open for the 2025 Primary Science Fair, a key feature of the renowned BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE), taking place from January 08 - 11, 2025 in Dublin. Celebrating 25 years as sponsor and custodian, BT is encouraging primary school students from 3rd to 6th class to collaborate, brainstorm, and create exciting STEM projects to be in with a chance to represent their school at the Primary Science Fair in the RDS, Dublin, in January. The Primary Science Fair was created 25 years ago to ignite a passion for STEM in younger students and provide an opportunity for an entire class of up to 30 students to showcase their projects together within the environs of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition. Projects can explore various scientific areas like living things, materials, environmental care, and energy and forces. The important deadline for submission is Friday, November 1st, and schools will be notified in November if their projects will be showcased at the Fair in January 2025. Principal Orla Whelton from Ballyroe NS, Co. Cork,?said, "I highly encourage any schools considering entering the Primary Science Fair to do so. Our school has participated for the last eight years, and it's an amazing experience for the students. It introduces them to the world of STEM and fosters a love for science that continues through secondary education and beyond." Mari Cahalane, Head of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition, added, "For 25 years, the Primary Science Fair has been a key part of the BTYSTE, offering a platform for young minds to develop a lifelong passion for STEM in a non-competitive environment.

Seán O'Sullivan, winner of the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition (BTYSTE) 2024, has been awarded second place and the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair Prize at the 2024 EU Contest for Young Scientists (EUCYS) in Katowice, Poland. Sean (17), a 6th year student at Coláiste Chiaráin, Limerick was recognised by the EUCYS judging panel for his BTYSTE winning project, titled 'VerifyMe: A new approach to authorship attribution in the post-ChatGPT era'. Sean's project considered the challenges of author verification in the context of the significant improvements in Large Language Models (LLMS) like ChatGPT, as the line between human-written and AI-generated text has blurred, leaving academia and industry searching for a reliable method to determine "true" human authorship. At the EUCYS, Sean competed against 250 young scientists aged between 14-20 years old from nearly 40 countries in the EU, as well as guest projects from the United States and beyond. Speaking on his achievement, Seán O'Sullivan said, "It was an honour to travel to Katowice, Poland and represent Ireland at one of the world's most prestigious science fairs. With so many fascinating, important projects on display, I am absolutely thrilled to take home the second place prize at the competition." Mari Cahalane, Head of the BTYSTE, said, "As Ireland's representative at the EUCYS, Seán is an incredible advocate for Ireland's science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) sector and showcases the very best of the talent that comes from the BT Young Scientist & Technology Exhibition each year. "Here at BT Ireland, we are all incredibly proud of Sean's achievements we would encourage as many students as possible to get their entries in for the BTYSTE 2025 before the deadline for applications closes at the end of the month. Not only will finalists have the chance to showcase their amazing ideas at Ireland's leading school STEM exhibition, BTYSTE, the overall winner will like Seán did this year, will represent Ireland at next year's EUCYS." Applications are open for the BTYSTE 2025 until 5 pm on September 27th and the 2025 Exhibition will take place from January 08-11 in Dublin. To enter, all students need to do is fill out an online application form and simply submit a one-page proposal outlining their idea. Qualified entries will be announced at the end of October and will be showcased at BTYSTE 2025 in January.

"I heard elders talk about 'the shakes,' but I now know that language reflects deep historical inequities that have denied us access to healthcare, knowledge, and research that could help us alleviate burdens and strengthen our health—enough with the shakes!" —Senegal Alfred Mabry, in CellParkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder in the United States. According to a 2022 study, some 90,000 people a year in the US are diagnosed with Parkinson's. It's a progressive disease that worsens over time, producing unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as tremors, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination.Researchers are working to better understand the causes of the disease, how it connects to other health conditions, and how to slow or prevent its effects. Senegal Alfred Mabry is a third year PhD student in neuroscience at Cornell University, and was recently named a recipient of this year's Rising Black Scientist Award by Cell Press. His research involves interoception—a sense that allows the body to monitor its own processes—and the autonomic nervous system.
