Doors open 7.30pm for an 8pm start.
Venue: Rialto Theatre
Our speakers:
Anna Crowle: Pelvic organ prolapse: it’s a tension not a weakness.
Women’s health physiotherapist and researcher Anna Crowle presents a new way of understanding and treating this common condition, which is rooted in the biotensegrity model of human anatomy.
Steve Huckel: Enervator, a cryptocurrency that incentivises energy efficiency.
Steve recently submitted his PhD thesis on cryptocurrencies at the University of Sussex. He has a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Music Technology. His career in computing began in the early 1990s and included working as a UNIX Systems Administrator and as an Audio Programmer in games, amongst other roles. In 2010, wanting to increase his knowledge of environmental issues, he took a second MSc in Advanced Environment and Energy at the Centre for Alternative Technology. Then, in 2013, a friend asked him to build him a Bitcoin mining rig, and so began his journey into blockchain technologies.
