ThinkCast
About
The ThinkCast is a collection recordings and interviews from our past ThinkCon. Highlights include Rhys Morgan's talk from ThinkCon 2011 on what he discovered when he went in search of the truth about a miracle cure, and the backlash that resulted. The most impressive part of this, though, is that Rhys achieved all of this while being only 15 years old.

Kate Russell
Kate Russell is a journalist and reporter who, by her own admission, spends far too much time online. For the past decade she has dedicated her life to staying on top of online developments, commenting on the Internet, social media and mobile apps for the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and a frightening number of print and online publications. In that time she has seen a lot of things done well - but less widely reported are the disasters she's witnessed. From monumental social media screw-ups (like the Facebook party invitation that ended in a full-scale riot), to the truth behind how much information you're giving to 'The Man'. This revealing talk is not for the faint-hearted and might make you think twice about how well you know the Internet.

Hayley will introduce you to the often confused & somewhat scary world of modern paranormal research where things regularly go bump in the night...
Michael Brookes

Lewis Dartnell
'Astrobiology' is a brand new field of science, encompassing research into the origins and limits of life on our own planet, and where life might exist beyond the Earth. But what actually is 'life' and how did it emerge on our own world? What are the most extreme conditions terrestrial life can tolerate? And where in the cosmos might we reasonably expect to find ET?
