Q: How do we begin?

A beginning can mean many things: a fresh new idea, reimagining a complex system, or opening a document and staring at it for several minutes. But how do we begin? And can we strengthen our ability to start new things, ideally without a coffee, a deadline, or mild panic? 

Join three researchers and a comedian as they discuss different ways to approach beginnings. Explore the benefits of utilising creativity, the role of plants and cultivating new ideas, and engineering sustainable energy systems. 

Enjoy a night of comedy and curiosity with a quick-fire quiz, quite a good demonstration, and a Q&A with our panel of speakers.

Are you ready to get started?
