Startling Careers in Science
Science is probably the best possible ‘mental toolbox’ that you can have, enabling you to change your career many times if desired. Karl’s fun, inspirational talk will cover five main areas in future careers in science, how this will affect students and become important in their future working lives.
- Computer and information technology and how computers will be as smart as we are.
- Genetic engineering and how today’s students will ‘live forever’.
- Engineering. How we will try to invent things never invented before.
- Basic physics. If we get rid of mass, we can travel to the stars at the speed of light.
- The environment and what we can do to fix it.
