SUMMARY:Fire\, Fire\, Burning Bright
DESCRIPTION:Of all the ancient human technologies fire is perhaps the most evocative\, and a critical part of the human evolutionary journey. It is also one of the hardest to detect! This free event from the Department of Archaeology will showcase ongoing experimental research that is exploring early campfire technologies and testing a variety of methods for detecting fire half a million or more years ago\, during the expansion of humans into Northern Europe. \nAn event for British Science Week 2019.

SUMMARY:The Great Debate 2019: Can new technologies transform healthcare?
DESCRIPTION:The increasing adoption of digital technology has resulted in fundamental changes in many industries. Yet healtcare\, which represents about 10% of global GDP\, has lagged behind other sectors. This is about to change as big data and artificial intelligence will deliver improvements in diagnosis and treatment that will increase health care’s reach\, efficiency\, accuracy and reduce waiting time for patients. \nTechnological advances offer significant opportunities to improve healthcare and have the potential to deliver significant value for the NHS. This year’s Great Debate will provide an update on the latest technology advances to deliver these benefits. \nThere will be four presentations as below\, followed by a debate and Q&A. \n\n\n\nHuman-Computer Interaction\nDigital Health innovation at the NHS Frontline: Transformation and reality checks\nUsing AI to improve clinical effectiveness\nEnsuring new technologies are introduced effectively and safely\n\n\n\nAdmission free but booking is necessary. This event is being held in British Science Week – find other events in Reading here.

SUMMARY:Weather Rescue Hack-A-Thon
DESCRIPTION:This year the British Science Week’s citizen science project originates in part from University of Reading. To honour this\, we are running our first hack-a-thon event! \nCome along and get involved in the project. You will also have the opportunity to hear more about the motivations behind the project and how the data will be used from the scientists behind the project. We will have experts on hand to answer your weather and climate related questions. \nAdmission is free but booking is required. Please note that we cannot provide laptops so you will need to bring your own devices (the platform works on both laptops and tablets). Light refreshments will be provided. \nThis event will run from 1pm to 3pm\, and again from 3pm to 5pm
