Will there be a novel pathogenic outbreak within the next 50 years? When will the first humans successfully land on Mars? Will there be at least 2°C of global warming by 2100? What about Human-machine intelligence parity in the next two decades?
In other words, can we forecast the future? If yes, then how? Attend our general meeting this Friday (9/20) at 5 PM to learn about the science of forecasting from Garrett Hanson. The meeting location is Communications 113 and snacks & beverages will be available!
We hope to see you soon.
