Knowing and Unknowing
What can we measure? What can we predict? What can we know?

What is the science story around climate change? What are the obstacles to making the changes we need to protect against harmful climate change? And, more specifically, what are the theological issues at play when we talk about the environment? Is this primarily a technical issue to be fixed by different and better technology? Or is it a spiritual challenge to our world?

ISCAST friends might be interested in the Melbourne special screening of a film documenting the life of an extraordinary man. Hull's autobiography, Touching the Rock (1990), was described by Oliver Sacks as “Staggering. The most extraordinary, precise, deep and beautiful account of blindness I have ever read. It is, to my mind, a masterpiece.”
Date: Wednesday 26th April, 6.30pm
Venue: Cinema Nova, 380 Lygon St, Carlton Vic.
Film: Notes on Blindness, with a special introduction by Jan Dale, Prof. John Hull's sister.
Tickets: Online ticketing here

This talk at Melbourne University about the brain–machine interface might be of interest to ISCAST members. (ISCAST fellow Graeme Clark was a pioneer with his bionic ear.) The field is rife with ethical, philosophical, and theological issues as the human capacity to blur the lines between body and machine increases.
