Each of the three days of the 9th ŚFN Katowice will see the Untamed Science Stage take on a unique character and offer an exceptional programme. On Sunday, 7 December, we invite you to the Lower Lobby of the International Congress Centre to participate in activities on the Reading Nature Stage, which will once again be hosted by Łukasz Lamża, PhD.
This year, we will see a substantial thematic block devoted to psychedelics. What are they? Will they save medicine? And why would anyone need them? We will learn how to distinguish between them correctly, how psychiatrists view psychedelics, and whether they should be used in treatments. We will also meet with mathematical physicist Tomek Miller for a traditional discussion about what reality is and whether it might be mathematical in nature.
The Untamed Science: Reading Nature Stage will be once again hosted by Łukasz Lamża, PhD – philosopher, biologist, science journalist, and Ambassador of the Silesian Science Festival Katowice. He is an employee of the Copernicus Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies at the Jagiellonian University, author and member of the editorial board of Tygodnik Powszechny, as well as author of award-winning books, including: Światy równoległe (Parallel Worlds) (2020), Połącz kropki (Connect the Dots) (2021) i Trudno powiedzieć (Hard to Say) (2022). He hosts a weekly scientific press review ‘Czytamy Naturę’ (Reading Nature) on YouTube.
