Fire and Ice: The Conception, Birth and Infancy of Cybernetics.
Meat the Machine: or, the Hidden History of Cybernetics and the Possible Futures of Humans A series of nine monthly seminars at the University of Manchester exploring the rich and vibrant history of the radical science of cybernetics, and the potentially profound implications of this hitherto occluded history for our shared socio-technical futures. All...
Training course on visualisation and quantification of tomographic datasets
A 2 day in person training course covering theory and computer-based practical works using the Thermo Scientific™ Amira-Avizo Software. Lab/synchrotron X-ray tomography has emerged as one of the most important techniques for research in a wide range of applications including healthcare, energy, food and geology. Advances in the quality of X-ray...
Women’s Health Technology Summit 2026
The Women’s Health Technology Summit 2026 will bring together leaders from healthcare, research, technology, investment, academia, policy, and industry to examine the persistent inequality in women’s health outcomes as one of the defining healthcare and social justice challenges of our time, and the role of digital technology in tackling it. The...
Training course on in situ experiments and digital volume correlation
Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) is a powerful experimental technique that computes 3D full-field displacement and strain maps from volumes images acquired during a deformation process of a material. DVC is the 3D extension of Digital Image Correlation (DIC) which was first described four decades ago. The emergence of DVC started early 2000s with...
Those Serendipitous Mavericks: The Ratio Club and early British Cybernetics
A series of nine monthly seminars at the University of Manchester exploring the rich and vibrant history of the radical science of cybernetics, and the potentially profound implications of this hitherto occluded history for our shared socio-technical futures. All events will run from 13:00 to 15:00 and will be hosted at the University of Manchester. Event...
Training course on advanced scripting and batching of tomographic datasets
Although X-ray tomography is an attractive characterisation technique in materials science, it generates a huge amount of data at a fast rate and it can be extremely time consuming to process the data manually. A great benefit to creating scripts and plugins in Avizo is the ability to reuse a workflow on more than one image or to develop a bespoke...
Ghost in the Machine: The Battle for the Human Mind
Meat the Machine: or, the Hidden History of Cybernetics and the Possible Futures of Humans A series of nine monthly seminars at the University of Manchester exploring the rich and vibrant history of the radical science of cybernetics, and the potentially profound implications of this hitherto occluded history for our shared socio-technical futures. All...
The Spectre of Automation: Robots in the New Jerusalem
Meat the Machine: or, the Hidden History of Cybernetics and the Possible Futures of Humans A series of nine monthly seminars at the University of Manchester exploring the rich and vibrant history of the radical science of cybernetics, and the potentially profound implications of this hitherto occluded history for our shared socio-technical futures. All...
“It’s alive!”: Prometheus, Frankenstein, and the Cyborgs
Meat the Machine: or, the Hidden History of Cybernetics and the Possible Futures of Humans A series of nine monthly seminars at the University of Manchester exploring the rich and vibrant history of the radical science of cybernetics, and the potentially profound implications of this hitherto occluded history for our shared socio-technical futures.
