The third meeting of the discussion club "You have the floor!" - a project dedicated to the 125th anniversary of the Polytechnic University, was a sell-out. More Polytechnicians wanted to talk to the famous scientist, Doctor of Biological and Philological Sciences Tatyana Chernigovskaya than even the White Hall can accommodate. How to make the brain go beyond the usual patterns? How does artificial intelligence affect our brain? Does poetry have a future in today's information world? These are just a few of the issues discussed at the meeting.
