FameLab is back! Held annually in over 30 countries, Royal College of Surgeons Ireland and the British Council have teamed up for the first time to bring FameLab to the university for a mini-heat.
Armed only with their wits and a few props, the top newest voices from the world of science, technology, engineering and maths will deliver three-minute talks on weird and wonderful science concepts. Expect to hear anything from the effects of caffeine on the body to why we should protect parasites, from the curable qualities of CRISPR to the cosmic lighthouses known as pulsars.
Presentations will then be judged according to FameLab’s golden rules – the three Cs: Content, Clarity and Charisma. As an audience member you too can be involved in the judging process and have the power to rate the contestants along with our esteemed panel of judges.
The top participants from the FameLab RCSI mini-heat will go on to take part in the Dublin heat in February, with a chance to represent the region at the FameLab Ireland national final on 15 April 2020 which this year will be held in Cork for the first time!
So, encourage your curiosity and get a snapshot into the world of science, engineering, maths and technology at this entertaining and exciting event!
