About the event
Neuroscientist Dr Hannah Critchlow invites us on a fascinating journey through the latest discoveries in brain science as she explores the ideas behind her new book, The 21st Century Brain. Drawing on cutting-edge research, she reveals why the skills that matter most in the decades ahead are curiosity, compassion, communication, courage and creativity.
Rather than competing with machines, she argues, we must lean into what makes us distinct — our capacity to collaborate, to intuit, to empathise and to imagine. In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, our greatest advantage lies not in thinking more like machines, but in becoming more fully human.
