 \nCo-Organiser\n\n--\n\nRichard Hand\nOur present world is one of enormous
  change on every level from the micro to the macro. If we walk down the st
 reet\, we can witness a transforming world in the yawning caverns of empty
  shops or in people’s techno-social interaction. At the same time\, popu
 lar culture continues to speculate about ‘other worlds’: shows such as
  Black Mirror draw on a rich tradition of dark domestic fantasy on TV and 
 radio with stories of extrapolated technologies and its impact upon our se
 nse of self and our values. In this talk\, we will look at everyday tales 
 from the worlds of dark fantasy and the emerging and evolving fault lines 
 of technophobia\, alienation and societal peril.\n\n\nDario Bressan\nCance
 r is one of the biggest killers of our century\, and perhaps its scariest 
 features is how little we know about it. We are still largely ignorant of 
 how each tumour interacts with its host\, and how it will react to the the
 rapies that we use to fight it. To learn more about this we need to step i
 n a different world\, made of cells\, proteins and genes: the world inside
  our body where these interactions happen. I am part of an international t
 eam of scientists funder by Cancer Research UK\, developing new technologi
 es to map this world in incredible detail\, charting the position and mole
 cular fingerprint of each and every cell\, with the aim of producing a com
 puter model that doctors and researchers can literally walk inside\, study
 ing it with a level of detail previously impossible. In my talk\, I will l
 et you step in this world\, and explain why we think it might be key to tr
 eat cancer better.\n\nJuan Bermudez-Garcia\nIn this talk\, I will show the
  “hidden world” of the daily life heat energy through a thermal camera
 . I will focus the discussion on emergent eco-friendly refrigeration techn
 ologies.\nNowadays\, refrigeration already accounts for around 20 % of the
  global energy consumption\, and is expected to triplicate by 2050. Moreov
 er\, most of refrigerant materials are volatile\, hazardous\, pollutant an
 d greenhouse gases\, which have already contributed to the ozone layer dep
 letion and the global warming. In this context\, I am studying the “hidd
 en world” of heat energy to develop novel solid materials that can repla
 ce refrigerant gases for eco-friendly refrigeration technologies. These so
 lids cannot escape to the atmosphere\, and they can transform the force of
  our hand into a cooling effect.\nIn summary\, I will show how studying th
 e “hidden world” of heat\, we can create innovative eco-friendly refri
 geration technologies for a “sustainable world”.\n\nZareen Roy-Macaule
 y\nZareen Roy-Macauley is in her second year at the University of Cambridg
 e\, studying Human\, Social and Political Sciences. She is the co-founder 
 of the slam poetry collective\, ‘GlobePoets’\, and has won and compete
 d in several national and international slam poetry competitions\, includi
 ng ‘Brave New Voices USA’ and ‘SLAMbassadors UK’.\nShe has perform
 ed in renowned arts and performance venues around London\, including the R
 oundhouse\, Southbank\, and Richmix\, and is a frequent performer at Cambr
 idge University Hip Hop Society’s exhibition nights.\n\nTickets: https:/
