Category:scitech
Timeslot:Thu 10:00 am (90 minutes)
Location:ACC / 207-B
Description:Our distinguished panel of experts explains why certain widely-seen SF and fantasy elements that seem absurd actually have legitimate explanations. Come hear why it makes sense for barbarian sword babes to wear chain-mail bikinis, why computers on starships never crash or lock up with indecipherable error messages, and why male scientists in SF are always really good looking guys who are irresistible to brilliant, beautiful women.
Speaker(s):Robert J. Sawyer, Amy Thomson, Bridget Bradshaw, Dr. Isaac Szpindel(M), Tom Galloway
