**Creative Vibe Coding at the Science Museum with ElevenLabs**
Artists have spent the last few years hearing that AI will change everything. This event is about putting those tools back into creative hands. We’re taking over the Science Museum’s Smith Centre and teaming up with ElevenLabs for a relaxed night of music, art, experimentation, and social vibe coding.
Whether you want to make an AI-powered instrument, a storytelling experiment, a poetic web page, or a generative artwork, this is your playground. Use any tools you like (ChatGPT, Claude, Lovable, v0, Cursor, Replit, and more) and get free access to ElevenLabs’ music and audio tools for the night. 🍻
**Format 🛠️**
We’ll be teaming up in small groups of 3–4 people. We’ll provide a creative prompt to get you started, and then it’s heads-down building. The goal is to vibe, experiment with AI as a tool for expression, and make new things together.
**New to vibe coding? ✨**
No worries. We’ll provide simple starter ideas, example prompts, and tool suggestions so even complete beginners can get building quickly and without stress.

***🎬 With longer days and warmer evenings on the way, this is the perfect time to get together, catch up, and talk movies. So—what’s been your favourite film so far this year?***
**Hey everyone** 👋
This year’s films may still be warming up, but we’ve already had a few interesting releases. **[Project Hail Mary](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m08TxIsFTRI)** and **[Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nm4WbapDzDQ)** have definitely given us something to talk about.
And there’s a huge lineup ahead **Nolan, Villeneuve, Spielberg, Eggers, the Russos**… even **Abrams** is making an unexpected comeback! They’re all racing to release films before AI takes over cinema… or so they say—so trust me, there’s a lot to look forward to.
**If this your first time joining us, we’re just a laid-back group of film fans and creatives who enjoy good conversation and meeting like-minded people.**
We’ll be meeting at the **BFI Riverfront: Balcony Bar**, overlooking the Thames. Right in the heart of the **British Film Institute**, it’s a perfect setting for film lovers, with great food, drinks, and plenty of space to relax—inside or out on the balcony. **Check out the full details below.**
Whether you’ve discovered something unexpected or have a film you can’t stop talking about, come along for an easygoing evening, great company, and a toast to the stories still to come.
**Until then… may the Force be with you.**

Information Science Events This Week
Discover what is happening in the next few days
Reading group: “Give me a lab and I will raise the world” by Bruno Latour
Exactly thirty years ago, Alan Sokal published his famous hoax, intensifying the “Science Wars” and criticising postmodern thinkers such as Bruno Latour and Jaques Derrida for their interpretations of science. The Science Wars represent an attempt, perhaps an unsuccessful but nonetheless meaningful one, at establishing a dialogue between philosophy and the natural sciences.
In this iteration of the Philosophy of Life Sciences Reading Group we’ll revisit this moment by returning to one of Latour’s early engagements with science: his essay “Give me a laboratory and I will raise the world”. Here, Latour views the lab not as an isolated, “sacred” space, but as a powerful site which transforms the invisible into visible, not a passive observer but something that actively reshapes reality. Are scientific facts constructed? What is a scientific truth?
Anyone from any background is welcome! If you’d like the pdf or to ask any question feel free to drop me a message. Please don’t worry too much about the RSVP list: we usually have 5-10 people attending already.
Make New Friends At A Bookshop
Do you want to meet new people in a relaxing chill atmosphere surrounded by new books? Do you dislike loud and smelly places like pubs and clubs? This is the event for you.
Science and Philosophy Book Club is creating a new kind of meetup where people who love books and knowledge can meet new friends in a big book shop. We will explore around different sections of the book shop together as a group while making interesting conversations with each other. We will go to both fiction and non-fiction areas.
If you feel shy and feel nervous to come alone, I will make sure you will feel comfortable and accomodate to your needs. I will help introduce you to others so you can go over the barrier of anxiety when approaching a new person.
We will meet on the ground floor lounge area of Doubletree Hilton Hotel at 6 p.m. It is an amazing cosy bar with classy vibes. We will wait for everyone to show up while getting some drinks and socializing. At 7 p.m we will head to the Waterstones book store near Russel Square and UCL. After we explore the book store, we will come back to the hotel bar and stay there for the rest of the night.
This event requires £5 donation to cover the venue fees. You can pay via cash or card. Thank you for helping the book club!
May's second Science Fiction meetup.
Would you enjoy a relaxed evening with fellow Science Fiction and Fantasy fans? If so, we’d love to meet you.
Our next gathering takes place on **Saturday 23rd May from 6pm** at **The Mad Hatter**, just by Blackfriars Bridge. Drop in, say hello, and join us for a drink.
We’re a long‑running group that’s been meeting since **1998**—long before meetup sites existed. Over the years we’ve hosted celebrity meet‑and‑greets, attended conventions together, run role‑playing games, organised cinema trips, LARPs, and plenty more.
These pub meetups are all about socialising and connecting with other Sci‑Fi and Fantasy enthusiasts. To help break the ice, we’ll be running a fun **team quiz at 8.30pm**.
There’s no fee to attend—just pay for whatever food or drink you order at the venue.
Deeper Discussions - Fiction Book Club 📚💬
Join us for a special edition of Deeper Discussions, where we dive into thought-provoking **fiction** that challenges perspectives, sparks imagination, and opens doors to meaningful conversations. Whether you're a lifelong reader or rediscovering the joy of novels, this is a space to explore stories that stay with you long after the final page.
**This Month's Book - One hundred years of solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez**
One Hundred Years of Solitude follows generations of the Buendía family in the fictional town of Macondo.
It blends everyday life with magical, surreal events in a dreamlike style.
The story explores time, memory, and the repeating patterns of family life.
**How does it work?**
* Brief introductions and reflections on what struck you most
* Moderated discussion exploring plot, themes, and characters
* Open conversation where different interpretations are welcomed ️
* We wrap up by sharing insights and connections made
**What to Expect?**
**Close Reading:** We go beyond surface-level plot summary. Expect discussions that examine the author's choices, narrative techniques, and the questions left lingering in the silence between pages.
**Thoughtful Dialogue:** This isn't a race to share opinions—it's a space for genuine exploration. We listen, we reflect, we build on each other's insights.
**Meaningful Connections:** Great fiction holds up a mirror to the human experience. Through discussing characters' choices and moral dilemmas, we often discover something about ourselves and each other.
**How to get the most out of this event?**
**Finish the Book:** Please attend only if you've completed the book. Spoilers will flow freely, and the richest discussions come from those who've made the full journey.
**Ground it in the Text:** Bring your interpretations, but anchor them in what's actually on the page. Quote passages. Reference scenes. Let the author's words guide us.
**Respect & Openness:** Every interpretation matters. Make space for quieter voices. Challenge ideas, not people. Stay curious rather than defensive.
**Why a Fiction Book Club?**
**Explore the Human Condition:** Fiction lets us inhabit lives we'll never live, forcing us to confront questions about identity, morality, love, and loss.
**Sharpen Your Thinking:** Close reading develops critical thinking—noticing what the author chose to include, exclude, and how the story is told matters as much as what happens.
**Deepen Connections:** Discussing characters' choices and moral dilemmas creates surprisingly intimate conversations with fellow readers.
**Who is this event for?**
* You find yourself thinking about books long after you've finished them
* You want more from book discussions than "I liked it" or "I didn't"
* You're curious how others interpret the same story differently
* You value thoughtful dialogue over debate ️✨
* You're looking for meaningful connections with fellow readers
**What's in it for you?**
* **Fresh Perspectives:** Discover interpretations you'd never have considered alone
* **Deeper Understanding:** Unpack themes and symbols that enrich your reading
* **Genuine Connection:** Bond with others over shared literary experiences
* **A Space to Think:** Slow down from the noise and engage with ideas that matter
**Ready to dive deeper into stories that matter?**
Join us for an evening where fiction becomes a gateway to understanding ourselves and each other. ✨
**We really hope to see you there!**

Drunken Philosophy: What’s up with all the AI hate?
**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion
**Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?**
A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad.
My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one.
Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it?
I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction.
Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends.
No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

**Abstract**
Like it or not, AI agents are now capable of turning a quickly written paragraph of requirements into a pull request that is ready to be integrated into real-world production applications and it's now our responsibility to make sure AI doesn't go rogue and take down prod - or corrupt our data by misunderstanding the requirements or our existing schemas. In this session we'll explore strategies to protect our codebases through unit and integration testing, documentation, and code review along with additional ways of providing context and guard rails to our AI agents as they carry out the work we've assigned them to do. By the time we're done, you'll have a firm grasp of the problem and understand some helpful options for protecting your codebase from vibe coding mishaps getting YOLOed into prod.

Jules and Jim, the Book!
By popular demand, the group wanted to read and discuss the semi-autobiographical novel by Henri-Pierre Roche, that inspired the Truffaut movie we watched last year.
The book is available through the Columbus Library's interlibrary loan system. They reported there are twenty-eight copies available in the state of Ohio. If you have a library card, you can file an interlibrary loan request here: https://www.columbuslibrary.org/library-services/ . There are also used copies available on Amazon and eBay for under twenty dollars.
You may want to rewatch the movie after reading the book, so we can compare and contrast in our discussion. The Columbus Library has four copies on DVD, and it's streaming on HBOMax.
French conversation at La Chatelaine in Worthington.
SATURDAY: This event is 2:30 - 4 pm SATURDAY.
Conversation tends toward intermediate/advanced,
but everybody is welcome.
If you come and don't see us right away, keep looking. We could be anywhere in the restaurant.
