Kevin Mitchell gives his talk 'Nature, Nurture and Noise' at Ignite 9 at the SCIENCE GALLERY, Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland in June 2012
Ignite is a fast-paced geek event started by Brady Forrest, Technology Evangelist for O'Reilly Media, and Bre Pettis of Makerbot.com, formerly of MAKE Magazine. Speakers are given 20 slides, each shown for 15 seconds, giving each speaker 5 minutes of fame.
The first Ignite took place in Seattle in 2006, and since then the event has become an international phenomenon, with gatherings in Helsinki, Finland; Paris, France; New York; and many other locations. Conor Houghton, former TCD Maths researcher, helped bring Ignite to Science Gallery.
