Leila is the founder of Hack Circus, a quarterly journal, blog and event that moves around the UK in the mode of a travelling circus. Her aim is to celebrate the fantastical and mysterious side of invention. Together with a team of world leading scientists and inventors, they aim to answer questions such as: what do particle physicists know about ghosts? How do you communicate with the distant future? How do you write about time travel so it makes sense? Expect a mind bending talk as she sheds light on some of these futuristic phenomena.
