The Science of Creation - New Technologies for New Societies

Clay, bronze, glass, plastic, and sand transformed human societies with technologies of pottery, metal working, optics, manufacturing and computers. What future materials will revolutionise our world? What technologies and products will come from new materials such as nanoscale fibres and polymers?

New to SciPub? Wondering what we are about?
The principal goal of SciPubAdelaide is to make science engaging and accessible to the public. Each panel consists of three experts who deliver 10-15 minute presentations on their area and then open up to questions from the audience via a moderator. Panellists are selected primarily on their ability to effectively communicate science in an engaging and non-technical manner. SciPubAdelaide is held in a pub so that scientists, aspiring scientists, and non-scientists can learn, discuss and think critically about hot topics in science.
