Not sure why @abeorch@friendica.ginestes.es decided not to include any details about the talk. The host is

Dr Lucy Rogers MBE is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering. Former Visiting Professor at Brunel University, she’s an award-winning engineer, author of Up: A Scientist’s Guide to the Magic Above Us and former BBC Robot Wars judge. Her creative projects span animatronic dinosaurs to carbon-negative technologies. She’s passionate about nature and sustainable engineering solutions.

It looks like an interesting talk! Unfortunately, the title: "Up: A Scientist’s Guide to the Magic Above Us." sounds like some pseudoscience bullshit.

@BaconWrappedEnigma Thanks for adding details.. I was on my phone and it was an opportunistic share.
