The Café will follow our usual format with three expert speakers on diverse topics and time for Q&A after every presentation.
Can metals cure cancer?
- Dr Maria Azmanova, School of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences, University of Bradford
> When you think of metals, you probably imagine coins, jewellery, or maybe even something dangerous like lead. But what if some metals could actually save lives?
Bringing Soft Matter Physics to Life, how hard can it be?
- Professor Mike Ries, School of Physics & Astronomy, University of Leeds
> Soft Matter Physics is the physics of life itself. Learn how a flea jumps, why a rubber ball bounces, and how life is built on long chain molecules. Can a solid flow and a liquid shatter? Find out in this introduction to the physics of soft matter.
The Octopus Will See You Now: How Softness Is Shaping the Future of Surgery
- Dr James Chandler, School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds
> James specialises in Surgical Robotics with a research focus on the development of affordable, effective and safe soft robotic technologies for minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment of disease. He will be giving us an overview of some of current work at the STORM lab
As usual, tickets for the Café are £6, but free for under 18s
