July’s SuperMonday

Supermonday continues its ‘ fresh’ approach to events, with another shift in format for this monday’s gathering.

There will be a single speaker session, followed by an open discussion, the subject of which will be arranged by an online vote this week.

John Colquhoun, a research assistant at the school of Computing Science in Newcastle University will give the keynote speech. John is working on a joint project with the Medical School and an NHS trust and it’s all about communicating risk. The project is developing a software tool that doctors can use in their consultations with patients to discuss the patients’ risk of cardiovascular disease and also examine the potential impact of various treatment options (more information at https://wiki.cs.ncl.ac.uk/cvr).

Section 2 of the event will have no pre-arranged speakers! On the night we will arrange the chairs in a circle and open the floor to the topic for 60 minutes! Anybody can participate and anybody can voice their opinion. This event format is high risk, but  hope’s to capture the imagination and enthusiasm of the group to drive discussion!

If you havn’t already register now!




Note to self: remember not to be late again this month, don’t want a repeat of the police incident following last months late arrival locked out.
