ESET Science Talks: Edvard Moser "Science as a Pillar of Trust"

A discussion as part of the ESET Science Award series with Nobel Prize laureate, Norwegian neuroscientist Edvard Moser, on how scientific thinking and evidence help us navigate a complex world.

Moderator: Daniel Stach 

Dr. Edvard Moser received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discovering the principles of the brain’s spatial mapping system, which revealed the existence of so-called “grid cells” – neurons that enable us to orient ourselves in space and form reliable memories. Together with moderator Daniel Stach, a well-known Czech TV personality, they will explore a pressing question: How can science help society navigate a post-truth world and restore trust in information and facts? The discussion will demonstrate that scientific thinking, evidence-based research, and interdisciplinary collaboration are key to “navigating” through information and understanding a complex world.

The event also invites you to participate in accompanying activities at the Old Market Hall (Stará tržnica) and walk through the interactive maze "Science is aMAZEing", symbolizing uncertainty, getting lost in information, and the search for support in facts and scientific knowledge.

Date: Friday, October 10 at 18:00

Location: Old Market Hall (Stará tržnica), Bratislava

The event will be held in English without translation into Slovak.

Admission is free.
