Venue: Cinema 1
Time: 15:00–16:00
Featuring: Maggie Aderin
Chair: Merisha Stevenson
Maggie Aderin is one of Britain’s most celebrated space scientists: an MBE, co-presenter of The Sky at Night and a pioneering physicist who has spent her career building instruments that allow us to see deeper into space.
From a child gazing through a telescope to a scientist exploring distant galaxies, hers is one of the most remarkable journeys in British science.
In this headline conversation, Maggie Aderin, in conversation with Merisha Stevenson, takes us beyond our world, into black holes, distant planets and the mysteries of the universe that remain unsolved. She explores why space matters, how looking upwards can transform the way we understand life on Earth, and why curiosity may be one of the most powerful forces we possess.
