Creative Reactions is the art-science branch of Pint of Science.
Tonight we bring you an evening about our planet. How do we understand our climate and how can we develop sustainable clean energy solutions? What role can we play and what are the energy materials of the future?
Leading scientists' talks are combined with an exhibition of artists' responses to these central questions which you'll be able to experience at this sci-art event!
OUR CLIMATE
Professor Sir Brian Hoskins (Chair of Grantham Institute, Imperial College London) will talk about understanding the motion of the atmosphere and how its weather and climate systems work.
Through dipping into his own areas of interest and research, Brian will share critical insights on current climate thinking and some of the possible effects on our environment. Looking for predictability in a sea of chaos underlies both weather forecasting and ideas of how the climate may change.
You will also hear from and see work by the artists that Brian has been collaborating with.
WASTE & FUELS OF THE FUTURE
Professor Magda Titirici (Professor of Sustainable Energy Materials at Imperial College London) asks how can we transition to a net-zero green economy? How do we create energy resources from waste materials? And how can these energy resources reinforce the circular economy?
Her research group’s ambition is to recycle bio and plastic waste into advanced materials which are components of future batteries and fuel cells.
Magda will discuss what the sustainable solutions are for the next generation of energy storage and conversion technologies.
