The Science of Fate 

Hosted by Sarah Kanowski (ABC Radio), Talks & Ideas presents powerful conversations with inspiring authors and ideas-makers.

How predictable is your future? Join neuroscientist and author Hannah Critchlow to delve into research revealing the extent to which the course of our life is hardwired into our brains, from what we choose to eat and the anxieties and phobias we carry and who we fall in love with.

This intimate knowledge of our brain and behaviour can be used to empower us to shape better futures for ourselves.

Hannah Critchlow is the science outreach fellow at Magdalene College, University of Cambridge, has been named a Top 100 UK scientist by the Science Council and is listed as one of the University of Cambridge’s inspirational and successful women.

Hannah appears regularly on TV, radio and at festivals and has co-presented BBC’s Tomorrow’s World Live, Channel 4’s The Secret Lives of 4 and 5 Year Olds, BBC 2’s Family Brain Games. She published her first book Consciousness: A Ladybird Expert Guide with Penguin in 2018 and second book The Science of Fate with Hodder in 2019.
