    The Edinburgh Futures Institute (EFI): A Conversation with Owen Kelly, Deputy Director, and neuroscientist Dr. Richard Morris

    Recorded: 24 May 2021.  Running time: 1 hour 5:42 minutes. This podcast focuses on the relatively recently formed “Edinburgh Futures Institute” of the University of Edinburgh, housed in the former Royal Infirmary building at Quartermile, in discussion with two of the senior participants in its development, Owen Kelly, OBE, its Deputy Director, and Professor Dr Richard Morris, CBE, FRS, neuroscientist and co-recipient of The Brain Prize, 2016.  [https://www.ed.ac.uk/estates/campus-development/central-campus/current-projects/edinburgh-futures-at-quartermile]. The recording is structured in three sections: first, their responses to my asking about their personal early formation, in childhood and youth with respect to the arts and sciences; second, their experiences and paths to their present roles; and third, selected distinguishing features of the EFI and prospects for its own Future. ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA:  The artist at Reading, whose name I could not instantly recall is Terry Pope. He walked around with an optical device which inverted his view 180 degrees (not 90 degrees!)  Whereas I referred to consulting a "daisy expert," the plants bottom left in the Verrochio "Madonna and Child" are non-descript, nevertheless the point I made remains true.
