The Future of Science | Eleanor Hammer & George Hine | TEDxYouth@Manchester


lice off’ the London International Youth
Science Forum one of the largest
gatherings of young scientists from ever
70 countries across the world this year
we were lucky enough to attend the theme
of this year’s forum was science for the
future an exploration of current
research and hints of what’s to come
[Music]
from learning about laughter its
importance in communication and society
to learning about some of the greatest
threat to global health from diseases
such as malaria and the efforts to
invest in youth to tackle these issues
so I’m sure you’ve all heard of 3d
printing but actually you’ve all heard
of 3d printing but not at the atomic
level we learn about a printer which can
print some atoms at molecule level so
imagine you second at home drinking cup
of tea fun seeing a slice of toast well
you’ve gotta butter what do you do no
problem your printer simply print some
more for you from individual atoms now
this may sound like a cartoon science
fiction idea but this sound this
technology is really closer than we
think life was about much more than just
science though we learnt about people
each other in a world increasingly
divided by fake news for inward-looking
politics and the rise of nationalist
movements we were privileged enough to
be part of a movement that aims to
achieve the complete opposite through
dances stories and songs we learnt so
much about each other’s cultures when we
took part in the ISIF Olympics we
complete strangers came together to
support one another and when we sat down
for dinner we sat with people from five
different countries and argued over
enough Tovar the correct way to eat
spaghetti bolognaise it’s a
controversial issue and trust me George
is wrong theme for this year’s TEDx
talks is potential and the theme
philosoph was science to the future so
our question to you is what do you want
the future to be like thank you you
