SUMMARY:Brighton Astro - Studying the universe on a tabletop
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Amber Shepherd\, University of Sussex\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nThere is still a lot that we do not understand about our universe\, such as dark matter and dark energy.\n\n\n\nMuch of our understanding of dark matter comes from observations made from far out galaxies. We are building a very sensitive tabletop device to gather data which may help to answer some of these questions. This talk will explore what new physics tabletop experiments may uncover\, as well as the quantum technology we are setting up to search for dark matter. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to come along\, please register below.  \n\n\n\nIf you sign up via meetup but can no longer attend\, please update your status to say that you are no longer attending so that someone on the waiting list gets a place. \n\n\n\nPlease only come along if you’ve signed up\, as we’re limited on space so won’t be able to fit anyone else in. \n\n\n\nFor this meeting we will be at Wagner Hall on Regency Road\, Brighton.Attendance is free\, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space. We will have a card reader and a money box you can drop your donations in on the night. We also have a bank account you can donate to electronically. \n\n\n\nPlease note that the venue has a bar that sells alcohol.

SUMMARY:Brighton Café Scientifique - Glass fibre composites - a new ‘forever material’?
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Corina Ciocan\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nOver the past 80 years\, glass reinforced plastic boats (GRP or composite boats) have become a mainstay of the boating industry while little attention has been given to the consequences of GRP degradation or boat disposal. Recent studies reveal widespread glass fibre pollution in heavily trafficked waterways while research and policy lag behind. With over one million GRP boats reaching the end of their life each year\, disposal and recycling solutions that protect aquatic life and human health are urgently needed. \n\n\n\nA marine biologist\, Corina Ciocan’s expertise is in Ecotoxicology (the impact of environmental stressors on aquatic organisms). She has been a Principal Lecturer at the University of Brighton since 2012; prior to this\, Corina was a full-time Researcher at the University of Sussex\, part of the Aquatic Toxicology group. She is involved in a wide range of national and international research programmes\, with focus on aquatic contamination. She has published scientific articles and books and her studies have been heavily referenced in numerous publications and television programs around the world. She is considered a pioneer in efforts to highlight coastal degradation\, but also the lack of environmental protection legislation. \n\n\n\nDoors and bar open 7:15pm

SUMMARY:Waterstones: An Evening With Florence Given
DESCRIPTION:DOORS – 6.15pm\n\n\n\nEVENT – 7.00pm\n\n\n\n\nTickets\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing her sold out ‘Girlcrush’ event from last year\, Florence Given returns to Brighton Waterstones to discuss her much anticipated new book\, ‘Women Living Deliciously’. \n\n\n\nIn ‘Women Living Deliciously’\, Florence encourages us to fall in love with our lives and uncover the sense of wonder in ourselves that has been buried by shame\, perfectionism and self-objectification. \n\n\n\nShe believes that for too long we have internalised the belief that our bodies are things to be looked at\, rather than lived in; that it’s embarrassing to fully express ourselves; that we cannot trust the parts of ourselves that are so full of desire. \n\n\n\nThis book will unpack the many barriers women face when trying to access joy so that they can discover the delicious life that’s theirs for the taking. \n\n\n\nPlease note: the Book & Ticket option includes a copy of Women Living Deliciously (RRP. £20.00) which will be available for collection on the night.

SUMMARY:Brighton Café Scientifique - Monitoring biodiversity along the Sussex coast
DESCRIPTION:With Dr Valentina Scarponi and Alice Clark\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nUp until the late 1980’s\, Sussex Bay harboured dense kelp beds. However\, since then\, 96% of the kelp beds have been lost from the Bay\, resulting in a degraded habitat. It is thought that the kelp was lost as a result of decades of trawling\, increased water temperatures\, sedimentation and pollution. In March 2021\, the Sussex Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority (IFCA) introduced the Nearshore Trawling Byelaw\, firstly to help the recovery of fish stocks and secondly to allow the kelp to restore itself. The ARK team (Aquatic Research and Knowledge exchange) at the University of Sussex has since been monitoring the biodiversity in Sussex Bay\, using video surveys and environmental DNA\, to understand how the removal of trawling is affecting marine life. \n\n\n\nDr Valentina Scarponi is a lecturer in Ecology and Animal Behaviour at the University of Sussex\, and the project co-lead with Prof Mika Peck. Her expertise includes shark behaviour\, ecophysiology and conservation\, fisheries management\, coral reef monitoring and restoration\, and effects of habitat degradation on marine community composition. \n\n\n\nAlice Clark is a PhD student at the University of Sussex. She has a background in zoology and evolutionary biology. Her PhD research focuses on monitoring biodiversity along the Sussex coast since the implementation of the Nearshore Trawling Byelaw.

SUMMARY:Brighton Café Scientifique - Living is a Risky Business
DESCRIPTION:With Prof Jennifer Visser-Rogers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nWe are bombarded with numbers and statistics in the media on a daily basis and are expected to use these to make decisions about our day-to-day lives. But what do these numbers really mean? Real life involves risks. From cycling without a helmet\, visiting a country with contagious diseases\, to living near the water. Sometimes your perception of risk is distorted\, making you think that some things are more – or less – risky than is actually the case. And sometimes things happen just by chance\, right? In this talk Jen Visser-Rogers will be taking you through some of the most important concepts in statistics as she looks at extreme weather events\, pharmaceutical drug trials\, risk\, and more. \n\n\n\nProfessor Jennifer Visser-Rogers is an experienced statistical consultant and a popular science communicator and presenter. With a Ph.D. from the University of Warwick and a B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Lancaster University\, she has a broad portfolio of achievement\, particularly in the development of clinical trial methodologies. She has an interest in the development and application of novel statistical methodologies\, particularly in clinical trials. Jen can also regularly be found giving conference presentations and talking all things statistics in schools\, theatres and pubs. She can often be heard on the Radio or seen on TV screens. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic\, Jen carried out numerous interviews\, was ITV’s resident COVID-19 statistician\, and was a member of the Royal Statistical Society COVID-19 Task Force. \n\n\n\nThis talk has been arranged in collaboration with the Royal Statistical Society whose annual conference is taking place in Brighton during the first week of September.

DESCRIPTION:DOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nHuman brains are nature’s own ‘prediction machines’ – evolved organs that are constantly trying to predict flows of sensation\, both from within our own body and from the wider world. This casts perception and feeling as forms of ‘controlled hallucination’ in which raw sensory information delivers experience only relative to our brain’s best predictions. These accounts suggest new ways of understanding both typical and atypical forms of human experience. They also suggest various ways we can ‘hack our own brains’\, pushing back against unhelpful hidden predictions. The upshot should be a new appreciation of both the continuity and the diversity of human experience. \n\n\n\nAndy Clark is Professor of Cognitive Philosophy at the University of Sussex\, UK. He is the author of several books including The Experience Machine (Penguin Random House\, 2023) and Supersizing the Mind (Oxford University Press\, 2008).

SUMMARY:Brighton Astro - Eating the Sun: The Cultural Significance of Eclipses
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: James Croft | University of Sussex \n\n\n\nAll throughout history\, and all across the world\, eclipses have been viewed as significant events. The civilisations of ancient China\, ancient Egypt\, and ancient Britain have seen in them signs and symbols\, portents of things to come. What can we learn about our history – and about ourselves – from our species’ response to eclipses across the ages? Join Dr. James Croft\, University Chaplain and Lead Faith Advisor at the University of Sussex\, to find out! \n\n\n\nIf you would like to come along\, please sign-up for free via our meetup page. \n\n\n\nIf you sign up via meetup but can no longer attend\, please update your status to say that you are no longer attending so that someone on the waiting list gets a place. \n\n\n\nPlease only come along if you’ve signed up\, as we’re limited on space so won’t be able to fit anyone else in. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nAttendance is free\, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space.

SUMMARY:Brighton Cafe Scientifique: Identification of a rare inherited condition
DESCRIPTION:DOORS: 7.15pm\n\n\n\nSPEAKER: 8.00pm\n\n\n\n\nIMPORTANT \nPlease ensure you REGISTER prior to attending! \n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Dr Jo Murray is a geneticist who runs a lab at the Genome Damage and Stability Centre at the University of Sussex. This is a research centre investigating the responses of cells to DNA damage and the relationship to cancer and other aspects of human disease. She is interested in how cells deal with problems that occur during replication\, the copying of the DNA\, and the consequences of mis-regulation for genome instability and cancer. Her lab focuses on the Smc5/6 complex and how this coordinates the recovery of replication with repair of DNA damage. \n\n\n\nWhen two baby girls in a Dutch family died suddenly of lung failure paediatricians suspected a genetic cause. This led to an international collaboration between clinicians\, geneticists and other discovery scientists. Together\, we identified the defective gene and predicted it would lead to misfunctioning of the SMC5/6 complex. This is a group of proteins required for accurate copying and repair of our DNA. My lab has a long-term interest in SMC5/6 and we were able to build a picture of what is happening in the patients’ cells.

SUMMARY:Brighton Astro: A Cluttered and Noisy Sky
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Robert Massey | Royal Astronomical Society \n\n\n\n65 years ago the Soviet Union placed the first satellite in space. There are now around 5\,000 satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO)\, the region up to 2\,000 km above the ground\, and their deployment is accelerating. 2019 saw the launch of Starlink\, a satellite constellation built and launched by SpaceX\, a system that on its own could soon have more than 30\,000 spacecraft deployed. With other operators we could soon see up to 300\,000 satellites in LEO by the end of this decade. \n\n\n\nThis is nothing less than a step change in our use of space. And like most paradigm shifts\, it will have significant consequences. A key example is how it will affect the science of astronomy and our view of the sky. Some estimates suggest that as many as 1 in 10 ‘stars’ visible could be satellites\, and professional and amateur astronomers alike now face significant challenges to our work. As a result our community has mobilised\, working at a national\, international and global level to tackle a complex problem\, and to try to find a balance between the positive results of boosting communications and the impact on the space environment. \n\n\n\nRobert will set out the problem\, what it means for scientists and the wider public\, and what we can do about it. \n\n\n\n\nDOORS: 7.00pm\n\n\n\nLECTURE: 7.30pm\n\n\n\n\nRegister to Attend\n\n\n\nAttendance is free\, but we would be grateful if those of you who are able to could donate a few pounds to help cover the cost of hiring this event space.

Because if he can find the answer to that\, then maybe Jen can find her way back to him. \n\n\n\nAndy still has a lot to learn\, not least his ex-girlfriend’s side of the story. \n\n\n\nDolly Alderton is an award-winning author\, screenwriter and journalist based in London. She is a columnist for The Sunday Times Style and has also written for GQ\, Red\, Marie Claire and Grazia.
