RECLAIM YOUR BRAIN.... BRING YOUR BABY!!


Expert speakers give TED-style talks that take you beyond the baby chat.


Scientists now understand more about our world than ever before. The shadows of buried archaeology are visible from space, we can track miniscule movements of gigantic ice sheets and observe the migration patterns of animals in real time, using methods like multi-spectral analysis, photogrammetry and satellite imaging. But what are these remote sensing techniques and how do they affect our understanding of the world around us? Michael Tomiak explores how this technology works, what it's already being used for and how it will impact on the decisions we make as a species in the future.



Michael Tomiak is a cultural heritage consultant specialising in remote sensing techniques. His work focuses in harnessing all the benefits and efficiencies remote sensing brings to the field of heritage and archaeology. Applying what is still a fairly new technique large swathes of land can be assessed quickly, and ever more accurately with increasing satellite imagery capabilities, helping us to build a better picture of an area's past landscape. Michael has degrees from the University of Nottingham (UK) and the University of Minnesota (USA) and now works as a Heritage & GIS consultant in London.

      They’ve backed away from pretending they produce their own goods recently. That claim sat at the centre of the misdirection for years. They’ve now accepted they can’t sustain it, so they’re beginning to highlight the local independent bakeries whose products they actually sell. The business is essentially a courier model running on a slim margin.

      Another sparrow hawk visor to our cherry tree at the weekend.  Our robin survived, but we may be a sparrow down.     any thoughts on bird feeders & bird baths with the current bird flu?  I try to wash out the bird bath most days when at home, but not on the 3 days in a row that I’m in the office & the bird feeders rather less regularly. Would it be better not to have at all (as my partner thinks)?

      OOOPS. My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine. I hadn't put a stamp on it. I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice). I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it.  Sorry posties.
