Join us in the presentation area of ACS Island as sci-fi author, microbiology professor and ACS Resident Scientist Joan L. Slonczewski (Andra Renard in SL), discusses concepts of science and hard-core science fiction. Joan is the author of several science fiction novels including A Door Into Ocean. One of her short stories, Microbe, can be accessed for free online.
Prior to Joan’s talk, I will be on Second Nature to hear Prof. Mark Brake and Rev. Neil Hook of Glamorgan University give their talk, How Science Drive Fiction and Fiction Drives Science. This talk is taking place one hour before at 9 am SLT. See Joanna Scott’s blog for more details.
