Addicted To You (Morten Granau Bootleg)

My live set from the 2012 edition of Ozora Festival in Hungary. It was a great edition, interrupted only by the poilce, who for the first time in Ozora history came into the festival for control. This happened during my set and made every single person in the whole festival run into the dancefloor, resulting in a huge pile of crazy people. The police gathered on top of the hills, watching the vallley go nuts, exactly while ACIDCORE was playing...Good times.

Lunch Hour Lectures - Autumn 2014

Professor Harry Hemingway, UCL Epidemiology and Public Health

How can the data collected in hospitals be used to help improve quality of care? What benefits might come from linking health record data with genomic data? And how can we build public trust in the research uses of health data? Professor Hemingway will discuss these using the example of cardiovascular diseases.

Can big data attack heart disease? (4 Dec 2014)

Africa is home to more than a billion people, but the latest set of scientific reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had only eight African authors, out of more than 830 authors and review editors from over 80 countries.

Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, climatologist and science communicator, says that one priority should he be elected as the panel’s new chair next month will be to fix the geographical imbalance hampering climate science. 

“It’s very important that the IPCC, being an international body, represents fully the different perspectives of the world,” he says in this audio interview. Van Ypersele admits the organisation will struggle to get its message across in countries where the urgency of climate change response may be outweighed by issues such as food scarcity or energy poverty.

However, he believes that climate science has an important role to play in the developing world and that the IPCC should improve its outreach in as many countries as possible ‘so its reports are not simply put on a shelf but really put to use.’
