ABOUT

One Small Step For Adriana. The Next Giant Leap For Mankind
You're Invited To Heavy Chef Joburg With Dr Adriana Marais

Last month’s Cape Town Heavy Chef session with Adriana Marais was met with such an overwhelmingly positive response that we just had to make a plan to get Adriana to Jozi.

So, after calling in a few favours at the International Space Station, pulling some strings at NASA and speed-dialling Matt Damon - Adriana will once again be sharing her remarkable journey to becoming one of the first citizens of Mars (yes, that Mars) at July’s Heavy Chef event in Johannesburg.

Shortlisted from over 200,000 applicants around the world, Adriana, a 32-year-old quantum biology researcher from KZN, is only a few steps away from embarking on a one-way expedition to Mars. Join us at Heavy Chef (but be quick, seats fill up fast) to hear Adriana’s views on expanding our imaginations, the beauty of complexity and the allure of the unknown.

So, take your protein pills and put your helmets on, this is an event not to be missed.

ABOUT ADRIANA

Dr Marais’s PhD focuses on quantum biology – life processes that can only be understood using quantum mechanics. It is her research as well as her outstanding fitness level and lifelong determination to inhabit another planet that makes her one of the best in the running. Hers would be a one way ticket – a journey with a single purpose. Her talk at Heavy Chef will take us through her personal process towards this life-changing goal.
