As part of BRLSI’s Heritage Open Days celebration, alongside a series of taster lectures, throughout the week there will be short videos to watch, some edited from previous BRLSI talks, ranging from Why Bath is a World Heritage City to Applying Artificial Intelligence to solve scientific mysteries, plus five insightful extra videos on how our brains shape the way we live.
These will be showing on a loop in the Draper Room: 10am on Monday 9, Thursday 12 and Friday 13 and 1pm every day.
Sampling videos from the BRLSI archive is a great way of finding out what we are and what we offer.
These videos can be viewed:
