Dr Emma Byrne is an honest-to-goodness robot scientist who, when she’s not developing intelligent systems, writes popular science books and has contributed to the Financial Times, the Guardian, Elle, and Therapy Today. She frequently appears on Sky News and the BBC talking about the future of artificial intelligence and robotics – and about swearing. Emma’s interest in neuroscience led to her first book, Swearing is Good for You: The Amazing Science of Bad Language, she argues that swearing is both big and clever. It’s likely to have been one of the first forms of language that we developed and, since then, it’s been helping us to deal with pain, work together, manage our emotions and improve our minds. Her most recent book is How to Build a Human, a smart, funny, humane look at what science knows about childhood. It will reassure and inspire parents, grandparents, and would-be-parents about the messy and beautiful process of parenting like a scientist. The Times called it “very welcome indeed … such a good book”.
Join Emma at this special PPG event on 12 September, both on zoom and live from Riverstone, as she chats to Lucinda Hawksley about neuroscience, about how we can all get to know our brains and about what we can do to help keep our brains healthy at all ages.
