Avant Aboagora: Creating Meaningful Connections

Aika

18.9.2026 klo 11.00 – 12.00

In an age where fake news, rumors, and AI-generated content are flooding our feeds, we face new challenges. How do we know what is true? Who can we trust? And how is our society affected when disinformation, polarization, and artificial intelligence shape our perception of reality?

Emma Frans is a researcher and author. She has been named Public Educator of the Year twice and writes for Svenska Dagbladet. She is the author of several popular science books and conducts research in epidemiology at Karolinska Institutet. 

In her talk, Emma will talk about how to build trust, preserve curiosity, develop cognitive capacity, and continue to learn throughout life. She will give you the keys to cultivating the human abilities that give you resilience in an increasingly automated world.

The event is free of charge and open to the public. The Astra building and Bonfire Hall are accessible locations.
