#RoyalInstitution #ChristmasLectures on #astrobiology this year - I like the sound of that https://www.theguardian.com/science/2025/mar/14/life-must-extend-beyond-earth-leading-space-scientist-says #science #PublicUnderstanding

Just finished watching the Ri Christmas lectures about food, really interesting esp on the role of exercise and the effect of ultra processed foods. #ChristmasLectures #bbc #ri

Watching the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures on AI.

They're doing a good job of explaining AI/ML for kids and non-techies and not getting too sensationalist.

But they are following the modern trend of "an algorithm with data is AI". I wish we could still distinguish "machine learning algorithm" from "more generalisable intelligence".

LOVING that the #RoyalInstitution #ChristmasLectures have a mockup of #WOPR called #BrodeRick

An interesting game professor. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

This week’s Royal Institution Christmas Lecture is presented by one of the academics from work. He’s very effectively explaining what AI is and what its uses are. Great stuff from the Royal Institution, as always. #ChristmasLectures #AI

I'm hoping this year's RI Christmas Lecture will be interesting and not filled with nonsense 😕

Mark Lorch and Phil Bell-Young's "Periodic Dinner Table" was filmed in 2021 as part of the Salters Institute 'Festivals of Chemistry'. The bit explores all the elements present in everyday (and some not-so-everyday...) items.

Its Christmas variant returns this December as the University's live Christmas Lecture.

We're with you @SaifulChemistry - it would be classified as a major incident to miss the @Ri_Science #XmasLectures! https://twitter.com/SaifulChemistry/status/1601484601742221312

Great day at the @OpenUniversity with @OUMathsEd and @OUMathsStats for the #ChristmasLectures - thanks for being such wonderful hosts - and two excellent audiences. Thanks to all involved.
