In the process of writing this, I discovered that I’m the kind of person who likes to leave footnotes & links to references in their Sci-Fi 🙈 #pint24

I gave a talk at the Pint of Science tonight! At “imagined futures” we had 4 time travelers coming from the future. I traveled back to 2024, coming from 2074 to talk about a birthday party and data democracy. 🥳🍻 #pint24 #citizenscience

The transcript of my talk is already on my blog here: https://tzovar.as/imagined-futures-2074/

The final Pint of Science talk of the evening: Joe Bourne on "Big data privacy from Pint of Science 2084". A brilliant imagined futures where everyone really does have control over their personal data. #Pint24 #Turing #TuringInst Photo shows Joe on stage at The Glitch with mic and holding a hand-built "data controller"!
Bastian Greshake Tzovaras talks on "Data democracy from Pint of Science 2074", an imagined future where Citizen Science finds its full momentum. #Pint24 #Turing #TuringInst Photo shows Bastian on stage at The Glitch with a mic... wearing a party hat!

Day 2 of Pint of Science, back in Glitch Bar in London. First up is Professor Jon Crowcroft "Geoengineering Earth from Pint of Science 2049". An amazing, somewhat bleak, tale of climate breakdown! Photo shows Jon on stage with a mic telling his imagined future! #Pint24 #TuringInst #Turing
