The reality of science fiction: A panel discussion on science and sci-fi Does sci-fi influence the direction of scientific research? How do sci-fi writers draw inspiration from real science? What happens when the two professions come together to work on a project? At SCIENCE GALLERY, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland in November 2012, an expert panel - including a scientist, a science fiction writer, and an expert on the relationship between the two - discuss the relationship between sci-fi and science. Writer Michael Carroll (2000AD, Judge Dredd), DCUs Pat Brereton (Hollywood Utopia, Smart Cinema), and Head of Zoology at TCD, Nicola Marples find out how important scientific accuracy is in science fiction, and how much of an impact science fiction can have on scientific research, public opinion, and even funding decisions.
