"Robots vs Reality" Talk by Evan Ackerman, Senior Editor of IEEE Spectrum

Tuesday, October 21, 2025 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

On behalf of the Waterloo RoboHub, the Global Engagement Seminar team, and the Interdisciplinary Capstone teaching team, I would like to invite you to join us for what should be a very interesting talk!

Evan Ackerman, Senior Editor of IEEE Spectrum and one of this year's Global Engagement Seminar Jarislowski Fellows, will be giving a talk titled “Robots vs Reality: Responsible Science Communication in the Attention Economy” at 4 pm on October 21st in DC 1351. We are expecting to completely fill the room, so seating in DC 1351 will be on a first-come, first-served basis until we reach capacity. Once it is full, the main IDEAs Clinic room (E7 1427) will be used as the primary overflow space once DC 1351 is full.
