Bronwyn Williams & Adriana Marais | The Small Print
In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to theoretical physicist Dr. Adriana Marais. They discuss her plans to launch Africa's inaugural mission to the moon, how exploring uncharted territories breeds new ways of thinking and technological innovation, the phenomenon of resource extraction in space, the idea of colonizing Mars, and how space exploration can provide us with a sense of wonder and much-needed perspective.
Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
Dr. Adriana Marais has a background in theoretical physics, with her Ph.D. and postdoctoral research focusing on quantum effects in biology and the origins of the building blocks of life in space. Currently, Adriana is a researcher at the University of Stellenbosch and the National Institute for Theoretical and Computational Sciences. She is also a faculty member at Singularity University. Additionally, Adriana serves as a director at the Foundation for Space Development Africa, where she is actively involved in preparing Africa's inaugural mission to the Moon—the Africa2Moon Project.
