The MRL in "The Science of Blade Runner" Event

Prof. Steve Benford and Martin Porcheron from the Mixed Reality Lab, and Giulia Tomasello from Nottingham Trent University.

On Wednesday the 18th of October, Professor Steve Benford and PhD Candidate Martin Porcheron talked in a special Blade Runner-themed event organised by STEM Outreach Nottingham, the team behind the brilliant Pint of Science festival.

This event brought science to Broadway cinema last night by featuring speakers whose research and expertise lies in themes present in the films (and original novel): synthetic biology, genetic engineering, biotextiles, artificial intelligence and machine learning.
