The Provocateurs: The weakness of vulnerability / Brain health roulette

We like to think vulnerability deepens empathy. From TED talks to philosophy, we celebrate it as the key to empathy and courage. Dr Adrianna Zabrzewska (Edinburgh Napier University) explores what happens when vulnerability isn’t gentle or liberating but exploited for political gain.

Actively building your brain health or leaving it to chance? With growing evidence of the lifestyles and environments that are important, Professor Alan Gow (Heriot-Watt University) explores stacking the odds in favour of being brain healthy as we age.

14+ must be accompanied by an adult.

ALL SEATING IS UNRESERVED AND LATECOMERS MAY NOT BE ADMITTED
