At Café Scientifique, you can explore the latest ideas in science and technology in a relaxed setting. Enjoy listening to a short talk before engaging in debate and discussion with our guest speaker and audience.
We’ll be joined by Dr Christina Stantis on Tuesday 6 October from 7.00pm until 8.30pm.
Ancient texts recount an invasion of ancient Egypt by the Hyksos, sweeping in from the northeast on chariots with innovative bronze weaponry, but is that what really happened? Modern archaeological techniques are changing the way we view this enigmatic 15th Dynasty of ancient Egypt – the first time Egypt came under foreign rule. Join us to discover how scientific research at BU is revealing an ancient, interconnected world.

How will it work?
This Café Scientifique event will be held online, using a platform called Zoom. This will allow you to to see and hear our speaker and host live on screen, whether that is from your computer or a mobile device. There's no pressure to share your own video or audio - we will actually disable audio and video for everyone except the host and speaker to ensure a stable experience for everyone. You'll be able to talk to each other and ask questions in the chat box and, when it's time for audience questions, you'll have the option to ask your question over video if you would like to.
For security reasons, we require that you register to attend this event. The process should only take a minute, and you'll be guaranteed a place. If you unfamiliar with using Zoom, you may want to read about how to join a Zoom meeting. You can will be able to join the event with or without a Zoom account, but you will need either the desktop application or mobile application installed.
