DESCRIPTION:Join us at our brand-new masterclasses and learn what science has to say about health and well-being. Our team of experts will help you cut through the myths and sensational headlines with up-to-date research and real-world advice around personalised nutrition\, exercise\, new obesity drugs\, sleep\, your immune system and how to be happier. \n\n\n\nThe morning session will focus on diet and exercise\, and the afternoon session will focus on how to live better and improve your well-being. Join us for one session or the whole day and start your journey towards a healthier you. \n\n\n\nTopics covered will include: \n\n\n\nMorning session: diet and exercise \n\n\n\n\nPersonalised nutrition\n\n\n\nExercise and diet\n\n\n\nWeight loss medicine\n\n\n\n\nAfternoon session: wellbeing \n\n\n\n\nOptimising sleep\n\n\n\nYour immune system\n\n\n\nHow to be happy\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nMorning session: Diet and exercise\, talks and speakers: \n\n\n\nPersonalised nutrition\n\n\n\nKate Bermingham\, Research Associate\, King’s College London \n\n\n\nWhat role does our individual microbiome play in shaping our unique responses to food relative to ‘what’ we eat\, ‘who’ we are and ‘how’ we eat? \n\n\n\nCan you outrun a bad diet?\n\n\n\nDylan Thompson\, Professor of Human Physiology\, University of Bath \n\n\n\nWhat is the role of exercise in keeping us healthy? Is it possible to eat a ‘poor’ diet\, with excess calories but offset it by increasing your physical exercise? \n\n\n\nNew obesity drugs- what’s the evidence?\n\n\n\nSimon Cork\, Senior Lecturer in Physiology\, Anglia Ruskin University \n\n\n\nSemaglutide (also known by brand names such as Wegovy and Ozempic) is a medication for type 2 diabetes that has recently been approved to treat obesity. Results have been dramatic\, showing a 15 per cent reduction in body weight over a year when combined with exercise and eating healthily. In this talk\, we’ll explore how this medication works\, what side effects it has and if it is really the solution to the obesity epidemic. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nAfternoon session: Wellbeing\, talks and speakers: \n\n\n\nOptimising Sleep: Unravelling the Neuroscience and enhancing sleep habits\n\n\n\nNicola Barclay\, Lecturer in Sleep Medicine\, the Sleep and Circadian Neuroscience Institute\, University of Oxford \n\n\n\nNicola Barclay will delve into the fascinating world of sleep\, exploring its intricate neuroscience\, the importance of sufficient sleep\, common sleep problems\, and evidence-based strategies to improve sleep quality. By combining research-based findings with therapeutic techniques\, she will provide practical insights for optimising sleep and its impact on overall well-being. \n\n\n\nYour immune system – Can it be “boosted”? If not\, why not?\n\n\n\nAl Edwards\, Associate Professor in Biomedical Technology\, University of Reading / Southampton \n\n\n\nAdvertisements are full of claims for ‘Immune Boosting’ products\, but is there any evidence that we can strengthen our body’s most fascinating system? We do know that vaccines work very well\, but at the same time find it very hard to measure the general status of our immune system; this makes it surprisingly difficult to know how to strengthen immunity through behaviour or nutrition. \n\n\n\nHow to be happy: all you need is stoicism?\n\n\n\nTim Lebon\, Accredited psychotherapist and author \n\n\n\nDid the Stoics in ancient Greece discover the psychology of a happy life over 2\,000 years ago\, and how are their teachings similar to modern approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy? \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nAnyone interested in health and well-being\, whatever your age or background. Whether you’re a scientist\, a student or simply a fascinated human being\, The Science of Health and Wellbeing offers the chance to learn directly from the experts. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nBenefits of attending: \n\n\n\n\nLearn from scientists working at the forefront of their field.\n\n\n\nInformal set-up\, meet like-minded people.\n\n\n\nOpen your mind\, and be inspired.\n\n\n\nA unique chance to ask your burning questions to our experts.\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nWhat’s included in your ticket: \n\n\n\n\nIn-depth and engaging talks from six leading scientists.\n\n\n\nHosted Q+As with the speakers at the end of each session.\n\n\n\nYour chance to meet our speakers and New Scientist host.\n\n\n\nExclusive on-the-day New Scientist subscription deal\, book and merchandise offers.

SUMMARY:Instant Expert: Wonders in Space
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day of exploring the mysteries and marvels of the universe with six leading scientists. You will start where everything began\, at the Big Bang. Throughout the day\, you will hear about the formation of galaxies\, the latest research into our nearest star\, the Sun\, the mysterious physics of black holes\, the quest to find life on Mars and the discovery of habitable planets outside our solar system. \n\n\n\nThe day will be hosted by a New Scientist journalist and there will be plenty of time to ask your questions to our galaxy of space experts. \n\n\n\nTickets for our popular Instant Expert one-day masterclasses are strictly limited and usual sell out quickly\, so book now to avoid disappointment. \n\n\n\nTopics covered will include: \n\n\n\n\nBig Bang\n\n\n\nBlack Holes\n\n\n\nFormation of Galaxies\n\n\n\nMars Exploration\n\n\n\nExoplanets\n\n\n\nThe Sun\n\n\n\n\nTalks and speakers:\n\n\n\nThe Big Bang and the Atomic Universe\n\n\n\nKatherine Blundell\, Professor of Astrophysics\, University of Oxford\n\n\n\nThe Universe began 13.8 billion years ago with the Big Bang and has been expanding ever since. In this talk\, Katherine Blundell will explain the recent revolutions in our understanding of the ‘Early Universe’\, which refers to the first few seconds after the Big Bang. She will explain: \n\n\n\n+ How have these crucial moments determined our universe today+? What is meant by ‘the horizon problem’ and ‘the flatness problem’+? How can we investigate events that happened so long ago \n\n\n\nBlack Holes: the most fascinating objects in the universe\n\n\n\nChristopher Reynolds\, Professor of Astrophysics\, University of Cambridge\n\n\n\nBlack holes are some of the strangest and most fascinating objects in the Universe. A place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out sounds like something out of science fiction. But how do black holes form\, how many are in our galaxy and beyond\, and do new and future technologies such as gravitational wave detectors and next-generation X-ray telescopes change how we observe them? \n\n\n\nGalaxies: building blocks of the universe\n\n\n\nClaudia Maraston\, Professor of Astrophysics\, University of Portsmouth\n\n\n\nGalaxies are vast collections of stars\, gas\, and dust\, held together by gravity. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are scattered throughout the universe. They are the building blocks that chart the history of our universe\, but how they form and evolve remains a mysterious process. Join Claudia Maraston as she reveals how her research modelling the galaxies of our universe is expanding our knowledge of cosmology. \n\n\n\nLooking for life on Mars\n\n\n\nAndrew Coates\, Deputy Director (solar system)\, Mullard Space Science Laboratory\, University College London\n\n\n\nAre we alone in the Universe? With missions to Mars and outer planet moons\, we hope to find out. We live in an exciting time for Mars exploration. In this talk\, Andrew Coates will discuss why Mars is a key target for space exploration\, look at some of the early results from the 2021 missions for context\, and outline our hopes for PanCam and the Rosalind Franklin rover. \n\n\n\nThe Sun: Our nearest star\n\n\n\nSarah Matthews\, Professor of Solar Physics\, University College London\n\n\n\nWhat has our nearest star taught us about all the other stars in the universe? Data from missions such as Japan’s Hinode and ESA’s Solar Orbiter has revealed much about its magnetic field\, solar flares and its corona. Join Sarah Matthews\, a solar physicist at University College London as she shares her insights on the Sun’s activity\, structure and impact on Earth based on her work on these probes. \n\n\n\nExoplanets: Life beyond the solar system?\n\n\n\nChris Impey\, Astronomer\, University of Arizona\n\n\n\nSince the first exoplanet\, or a planet beyond our solar system\, was discovered in 1995\, over 4\,000 more have been pinpointed\, including hundreds of Earth-like planets\, many of them habitable\, detected by the Kepler satellite. Join Chris Impey for a state-of-the-art account of what’s behind this accelerating progress\, what’s next\, and what it might mean for humanity’s future. \n\n\n\nWho should attend? \n\n\n\nIs anyone interested in the mysteries and marvels of space\, whatever your age or background? Whether you’re a scientist\, a student or simply a fascinated human being\, Instant Expert: Wonders of Space offers the chance to learn directly from the experts at our one-day masterclass. \n\n\n\nBenefits of attending: \n\n\n\n\nBecome an expert in one day\n\n\n\nInformal set-up\, meet like-minded people\n\n\n\nOpen your mind\, be inspired\n\n\n\nA unique chance to ask your burning questions to our experts\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s included in your ticket: \n\n\n\n\nIn-depth and engaging talks from six leading scientists\n\n\n\nAsk-an-expert Wonders of Space Question Time session\n\n\n\nYour chance to meet our six speakers and New Scientist host\n\n\n\nBuffet lunch\, plus morning and afternoon refreshments\n\n\n\nExclusive Instant Expert certificate\n\n\n\nExclusive on-the-day New Scientist subscription deal\, book and merchandise offers
