We're Back! Grab a cuppa and join us for #cuppascience - a LIVE informal science chat from the comfort of your own home! Don't forget to BYOB (Bring Your Own Biscuits).
We'll also be asking the important questions, such as, Is a Jaffa cake a cake? Or a biscuit?
Please book a 'ticket' to get a reminder email about the event. Alternatively, just head to our YouTube or Facebook page by clicking on the logos to access the Livestream at 6pm (BST - UK time).

When does a model become a game?
Computer models are widely used in science to forecast and predict systems, including natural systems like weather and climate, and human systems like transport. These models often share a similar architecture to elements in video games, such as the programming codes and equations. I’m going to make the case that they are in fact the same thing, although optimised for different purposes, and if we accept this we can improve both models and games by learning from each other. What would it take to turn our computer models into games, and will we see games turned into models?
