SUMMARY:Talk: Autism & Women
DESCRIPTION:Uncover why autistic women have been overlooked and the new research transforming our understanding\, with Q+A. \nAutism has long been seen as a condition affecting boys and men\, leading to the assumption that women and girls couldn’t be autistic at all. However\, recent research shows that autism often presents differently in girls and women\, challenging outdated stereotypes. While the old ratio was thought to be 12 boys to every girl\, new figures suggest it’s closer to 3-to-1. \nThis talk explores the male bias in autism research\, showcasing the new knowledge about autism in girls and women that has developed in the last decade\, and look at some of the support strategies which are being developed specifically to help this group with their unique experiences. \nDoors open at 7pm\, talk starts at 7.30pm – come down early to grab a bite to eat! \n  \nSpeaker bio: \nDr Felicity Sedgewick is an autism and neurodiversity researcher and academic at the University of Bristol. She has worked with autistic and neurodivergent people for over a decade\, particularly with autistic women and girls. Her research has focused on gender differences in autism\, relationships\, and mental health\, as well as experiences in higher education. Her projects are all co-designed with autistic and neurodivergent people\, and the goal is always for her research to have a meaningful and positive impact. Working with autistic co-authors\, she has written two books on Autism and Masking\, and Autistic Relationships\, and regularly gives talks\, podcasts\, and writes for national and international media.

SUMMARY:Music: Adrian Cox Trio ft.LIVE Illustration by Con McHugh
DESCRIPTION:Adrian Cox Trio | Makin’ Runs | SPECIAL ft. Live Illustration with Con Mchugh\nIn association with the Bristol Jazz Festival \n“Makin’ Runs\,” the latest project by internationally acclaimed clarinetist Adrian Cox\, delves into alternative ragtime repertoire from the early jazz era\, aiming to capture and express the timeless essence of the music. \nAccording to legend\, “Makin’ Runs” is a tune attributed to Buddy Bolden\, heard by Bunk Johnson in New Orleans. The phrase symbolises Bolden’s vision for inventive improvisations whilst never repeating himself. \nThe trio endeavours to emulate that spirit\, crafting tight yet dynamic arrangements that honour the music’s original intent\, allowing ample room for improvisational fire. \nThe program includes compositions by Duke Ellington\, Sidney Bechet\, Jelly Roll Morton\, Barney Bigard and many more.  \nThe trio is completed by the incredible talents of  \nWill Sach (double bass) & Alex “Honey” Boulton (guitar). \nThe fourth member of this project came through a collaboration with master illustrator Con McHugh.\nAdrian had become familiar with Con’s work through his Bristol Jazz Festival offerings. His vision for the Makin’ Runs artwork was incredible and he has been instrumental in creating the feel for this project all the way through. Tonight\, Con will appear in the flesh to create live imagary as the band play through their concert. This is not to be missed……

SUMMARY:Comedy: Sara Barron & Guests
DESCRIPTION:Stand Up For The Weekend with Sara Barron featuring Joe Sutherland & compere Clint Edwards\nSara Barron is a relentlessly honest and desperately funny comic\, relating brutal and sometimes filthy truths in a warm and welcoming way.\n\nShe is an American writer turned stand up living in London. While Stateside\, she wrote for Vanity Fair\, published two essay collections\, and earned the role of host for the hit U.S. storytelling show\, The Moth. This\, in turn\, gave her the bug for live performance. It also introduced her to her (British) husband\, which prompted an eventual move to the UK. Her work has featured most recently on The Guilty Feminist\, BBC R4Xtra\, and Dave Gorman’s “Modern Life is Goodish”.\n\n\nAfter a number of years in the UK\, any semblance of American positivity has been stripped away\, replaced by withering British cynicism. There’s certainly more than a hint of Joan Rivers’s cold contempt as she sneers at the joyous affirmations of others.\n\nSara couldn’t be brassier\, sassier or louder-mouthed if she tried. She parades her sex life\, friendships and militant subjectivity across the stage.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Gut-Brain Connection: Nourish Your Mind\, Body and Microbiome
DESCRIPTION:By now\, you might have heard that your gut is crucial in maintaining your health as a whole. But what does it actually do? And what does a healthy gut look like? Research is mounting that its role extends way beyond the digestive tract\, from impacting sleep\, immunity\, skin\, hormones\, to mental health. Join Dr Emily Prpa in this talk to digest the latest gut microbiome science on your second brain by exploring the most recent scientific discoveries\, while busting myths surrounding fad diets that promise to miraculously boost gut health. \nIn particular\, we will focus on the Gut-Brain axis: the two-way communication between the gut and the brain. With 90% of your serotonin (or the ‘happy hormone’) being produced in the gut\, we will answer which foods are in focus when it comes to boosting your mood. Better yet\, this microbiome masterclass will holistically guide you towards cultivating a balanced\, gut-friendly diet that nurtures both body and mind. \nDr Emily Prpa is an award-winning nutritionist\, with a PhD in Nutritional Sciences from King’s College London. Her research has focused on the therapeutic effects of plant-based foods and on advancing our understanding of how the gut microbiome influences various aspects of health and wellbeing. Her research has been presented internationally\, published in high-impact journals and helped inform UK Food Policy. Today she is a Visiting Lecturer at King’s College London and known as The Nutrition Reporter on Instagram where she is recognised as a trusted voice in wellbeing. Emily is considered one of the leading experts in her field and is frequently featured in the media\, including Sky News and the BBC.

SUMMARY:Talk: The Neuroscience of Music with Prof. Lauren Stewart
DESCRIPTION:The ability to make sense of musical sound has been observed in every culture since the beginning of recorded history. In early infancy\, it allows us to respond to the sing-song interactions from a primary caregiver and to engage in musical play. In later life\, it shapes our social and cultural identities and modulates our affective and emotional states. In this illuminating talk\, Professor Lauren Stewart will show that the ability to perceive and make sense of musical sound is remarkably sophisticated\, and can be acquired simply by being exposed to the music of one’s own culture. From those who have too little music in their lives (those with ‘congenital amusia’) to those with too much (musical earworms or even hallucinations)\, we will consider what we can learn from studying these phenomena scientifically. Finally\, we will explore the therapeutic potential of music\, with examples from stroke rehabilitation and perinatal mental health in sub-Saharan Africa. This talk will give you a unique insight into music\, its place in our lives\, communities and culture and why it has been referred to as ‘the most underutilised health asset on the planet’. \nLauren is Professor of Psychology at Goldsmiths where she founded the MSc in Music Mind and Brain and co-leads a research group in this area. She has published widely on topics including learning and plasticity\, congenital amusia\, earworms and therapeutic aspects of music. She has been engaged in several citizen science and public engagement projects\, including a Silent Disco earworm experiment at Manchester’s Museum of Science and Industry\, a live experiment on musical plagiarism at the Science Museum’s Dana Centre and an in depth discussion on the ‘Tingle Factor’ in music as part of Radio 3’s Wellcome Collection residency. She is currently leading a large global health initiative called CHIME Project\, which explores how culturally embedded musical practices can support women’s mental health during pregnancy.

SUMMARY:Comedy: Finlay Christie & Guests
DESCRIPTION:At 19\, Finlay Christie became one of the youngest ever winners of the prestigious So You Think You’re Funny competition\, following in the footsteps of Peter Kay\, Lee Mack and Sarah Millican. 3 years later\, his debut Edinburgh show “OK Zoomer” was nominated for NextUp’s “Best Show” award and was released as a special in October 2023\, with over 365\,000 views. His material\, based around his experience as a Gen Z\, led Chortle to describe him as “the voice of his generation”. \nHis 2024 Fringe show “I Deserve This” received multiple 5 star reviews\, won the Entertainment Now “WoW” award and was nominated for the ISH “Best Show” award. The Guardian described it as “Comedy gold” and Edinburgh Festivals Magazine stated there was “Barely a single joke that wasn’t a fresh zinger.” \nSo what we are saying is\, if you want to see a future stand up star in the making you’d better come along before he moves up to the enormo-rooms!
