Organized by BioLogos

Brain-embedded computer chips. Reversing aging. Curing death. Around the world, scientists and tech entrepreneurs are researching interventions that could radically alter humanity, promising to fix our problems and transcend our limitations. Hit TV shows like Black Mirror shine a spotlight on these possibilities. How might Christians respond, while affirming that our essential identity rests in bearing God’s Image and our ultimate salvation comes from God?

This event is free and open to the public. No registration is required.
