SUMMARY:TALK: The Science of Trauma & The Body: The Psychosomatic Nature of Trauma
DESCRIPTION:Discover how and why trauma manifests as physical symptoms and what we can do about it. Followed by Q&A. \nTrauma is not just in your head! In fact\, trauma can impact our whole bodies. We will explore what happens in our bodies during the survival response\, how our nervous system responds and coordinates physiological responses throughout our body. We need these responses to survive\, but what happens when we get ‘stuck’? \nDiscover what the implications are for our bodies\, and crucially\, what we can all do to help ourselves and those around us. When we understand how trauma and the body are intrinsically interconnected\, we can understand how to heal\, and reconnect to ourselves\, those around us and to our environment. \n  \nDr Susanna Petche is redefining trauma care and leading a movement for change. Founder of Trauma-Sense and creator of the C-Sense methodology\, she blends neuroscience\, functional medicine\, and coaching to address the hidden effects of trauma. With 25+ years as a GP\, she saw how unresolved trauma fuels many health issues\, inspiring her to create training and resources for professionals\, workplaces\, and individuals. In October 2025\, she will deliver a TEDx talk on the importance of acknowledging trauma. A sought-after speaker\, she has shared stages with Dr Gabor Maté and Dr Rangan Chatterjee\, challenging outdated approaches to health and healing.

SUMMARY:Discovery Talk: Changing the Soundtrack of the Ocean
DESCRIPTION:Marine biologist Steve Simpson\, Professor of Marine Biology & Global Change at the University of Bristol\, will take us on an adventure into the world of underwater acoustics in this fascinating talk. Tuning into the sounds of the ocean reveals amazing habitats and behaviours\, but also highlights environments at risk. Discover how sound itself may hold the key to reversing some of the issues facing marine life\, such as the ravages of climate change\, overfishing and pollution. \nSteve and his team use cutting edge acoustic technology to listen to the ocean and gain new insights into the extraordinary abundance of life beneath the waves. Tens of thousands of species of fish\, marine mammals\, crustaceans\, mussels opening and closing\, sea urchins and snapping clams all contribute to an incredible aquatic soundscape. But we are adding to this cheerful cacophony with human-made noise pollution. \nSteve and his team have gained worrying insights into the changing health of precious habitats by listening to the ocean’s symphony in places as far flung as Indonesia\, and Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. Overfishing\, climate change and pollution are all taking a toll on habitats and biodiversity. But all is not lost – through the use of sound\, Steve’s team have found ways to encourage the restoration of habitats and measure their recovery. Steve’s message is one of optimism and active hope – through the use of technology\, and also art\, film and music\, we can bring people together to rewrite the soundtrack of the ocean and create a better future. \n“Listening to the ocean connects us to marine life\, highlights the severity of human impacts\, and gives us tools and stories to underpin active hope and build a better future.” Steve Simpson\, Professor of Marine Biology & Global Change\, University of Bristol \nAbout the speaker \nProf. Steve Simpson teaches marine biology to hundreds of undergraduates and masters students\, and leads a thriving research group consisting of 15 postdoc\, PhD and Masters students\, with active projects in the UK\, Maldives\, Egypt\, Caribbean and Australia. He runs the MSc in Science Communication for a Better Planet at the University of Bristol. He was Series Academic Advisor to the BBC’s Blue Planet II and Netflix’s Our Oceans\, and recently featured in the BBC’s Our Changing Planet. He gives public lectures and media interviews on marine biology\, global impacts and potential solutions\, and remains optimistic that we can work together to restore the oceans for a better future. \nThe event will be chaired by Miranda Krestovnikoff\, TV presenter\, diver and author. \nPre-show dining is available in the bar/restaurant downstairs at the Hen & Chicken\, including a pizza/burger & drink offer for ticket holders. Please contact the Hen & Chicken direct to reserve your table for pre-show dining. Pre-Events Restaurant Offer – Hen & Chicken
