FALLING WALLS LAB THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL Session A ENGAGING MEANS KNOWING YOUR AUDIENCE Meie van Laar The workshop session Getting to really know your audience is key in selling your product. In only 60 minutes, we are going to bring your ideas to life by bringing your audience alive. What is the added value of your product? What are the most stupid questions ever asked about your idea and can you sell your product to me? About the expert Meie van Laar is an experienced educational developer and currently heads the Science Learning Centre at the NEMO Science Museum. Her fields of expertise include gender, STEM, inquiry-based learning, the methodology of tinkering and making science education accessible to primary school teachers. She was a finalist of Falling Walls Engage 2019. FALLING WALLS LAB THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL Session B TRUST IN SCIENCE Lewis Hou The workshop session At this time where trust in science is being tested to its limits, how can we support and earn trust and trust-worthiness in our science engagement? How can we build long-term relationships and equitable partnerships with diverse communities to achieve this? This interactive session will introduce some of the key issues and research behind trust in science and share case-studies from the work of leading community science organisations. Through group discussions, provocations and personal reflections, you will leave this session with new ideas, practical strategies and the start of longer-term commitments to support better Trust- building community partnerships in your work. About the expert Lewis Hou is an experienced consultant and facilitator specialising in equitable community-rooted science engagement. He runs the social enterprise Science Ceilidh, was a finalist of the inaugural Falling Walls Engage and recipient of the Public Engagement Innovation medal from the Royal Society of Edinburgh 2018. FALLING WALLS LAB THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL Session C HOW MUCH START-UP IS IN YOUR INNOVATIVE IDEA? Asmelash Taka The workshop session In this workshop, we will explore an entrepreneurial way to think about your innovative idea. There is a systematic way to think through how much start-up is in your innovative idea. We will give you a framework to assess and refine your idea and a communication toolbox to present your work clearly. We will have concrete examples and you will get to practice this yourself during the workshop. About the expert Asmelash Teka Hadgu is the Co-founder and CTO of Lesan. Lesan’s mission is to open up the Web’s content to millions of people through machine translation.

FALLING WALLS LAB THE WORKSHOP SESSIONS IN DETAIL Session D FAILING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS Sabrina Badir The workshop session Running a startup is a lot like running an obstacle course. It’s a never-ending path of setbacks, challenges, and potential roadblocks from day to day. The struggle may be inevitable, but the way you frame your setbacks is completely up to you, and may be the key that helps you succeed. Let’s embrace our failures and find a means to go forward together. Join the session “Failing your way to success” to learn more about it! About the expert Captivated by the lack of innovation in women’s health, Sabrina Badir decided to tackle one of the biggest challenges in modern obstetrics: the diagnosis of preterm birth.

Last year, President Obama launched the BRAIN Initiative as a large-scale effort to equip researchers with fundamental insights necessary for treating a wide variety of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s, schizophrenia, autism, epilepsy, and traumatic brain injury. Research on the brain is surging. The United States and the European Union have launched new programs to better understand the brain. Scientists are mapping parts of mouse, fly and human brains at different levels of magnification. Technology for recording and imaging brain activity has been improving at a revolutionary pace. Yet the growing body of data—maps, atlases and so-called connectomes that show linkages between cells and regions of the brain— represents a paradox of progress, with the advances also highlighting great gaps in understanding. Specifically, interpreting these brain-wiring maps, and ultimately establishing the approach that physicians and scientists will use to treat neurological diseases, requires a clear understanding of brain circuitry, information that can only be obtained through basic research like the fine work being performed at ZNI.
