Specific emphasis is placed on the sci-fi predictions of a specific material or materials manufacturing technology, such as synthetic spider silk (R. Heinlein, \u003Cem\u003EMisfit\u003C\/em\u003E, 1939), rather than \u0026ldquo;\u003Cem\u003Egeneral\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rdquo; predictions of technology, such as smartwatches (C. Gould, \u003Cem\u003EDick Tracy\u003C\/em\u003E, 1946). The event is designed to inspire research efforts that might lead to the creation of new materials \u0026amp; manufacturing methods previously predicted by sci-fi, but not yet realized as of today.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EExamples of sci-fi predictions (realized and unrealized) include:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/technovelgy.com\/ct\/Science_List_Detail.asp?BT=Material\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/technovelgy.com\/ct\/Science_List_Detail.asp?BT=Material\u003C\/a\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/technovelgy.com\/ct\/Science_List_Detail.asp?BT=Manufacturing\u0022\u003Ehttp:\/\/technovelgy.com\/ct\/Science_List_Detail.asp?BT=Manufacturing\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp; \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAGENDA\u003C\/strong\u003E:\u003Cbr \/\u003E\r\n9:00-9:05 a.m.\u0026nbsp;- Welcome \u0026amp; Introductions (Jud Ready, IMat-GTRI)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E9:05-9:50 a.m. - \u0026ldquo;\u003Cem\u003ETo Dream Futures\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rdquo; (Kathleen Goonan, Author)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E9:55-10:40 a.m. \u0026ndash; \u0026ldquo;\u003Cem\u003EFinding Engineering Inspiration in Unlikely Places\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rdquo; (Karen Burnham, Author)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E10:45-11:30 a.m. - \u0026ldquo;\u003Cem\u003EProgrammable Matter, from Fiction to Fact.\u003C\/em\u003E\u0026rdquo; (Wil McCarthy, Author)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E11:35-12:30 p.m. - \u0026ldquo;\u003Cem\u003EHow can Georgia Tech \u0026lsquo;Create the Next\u0026rsquo; unrealized material or materials manufacturing technology that has already been predicted by science fiction but not yet created\u003C\/em\u003E?\u0026rdquo; (panel of 3 organizers \u0026amp; 3 authors; plus audience)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E12:30-1:30 p.m. - Adjourn \u0026amp; Lunch (Complimentary for all attendees)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EClick \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/materials-sci-fi-workshop-tickets-36874373243\u0022\u003Ehere\u003C\/a\u003E to RSVP.\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoin us for a Materials Science Fiction workshop as we discuss materials and manufacturing technologies predicated by science fiction.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Join us for a Materials Science Fiction workshop as we discuss materials and manufacturing technologies predicated by science fiction."}],"uid":"28799","created_gmt":"2017-07-26 20:26:56","changed_gmt":"2017-09-11 15:18:34","author":"Cecelia Jones","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2017-09-19T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2017-09-19T14:30:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2017-09-19T14:30:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2017-09-19 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2017-09-19 18:30:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2017-09-19 18:30:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":["free_food"],"related_links":[{"url":"http:\/\/www.materials.gatech.edu\/event\/converting-materials-science-fiction-materials-science-fact-examples-challenges","title":"Workshop Overview"},{"url":"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/converting-materials-science-fiction-into-materials-science-fact-tickets-36874373243","title":"Register to Attend"}],"groups":[{"id":"217141","name":"Georgia Tech Materials Institute"},{"id":"1283","name":"School of Literature, Media, and Communication"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"26411","name":"Training\/Workshop"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:cecelia.jones@imat.gatech.edu \u0022\u003ECecelia Jones\u003C\/a\u003E,\u0026nbsp;Center Manager\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
