I've been asked by the Royal Institution whether I'd like to be the "face" and host for a cafe
scientifique to be held each month in their new cafe in the newly revamped London building. I
was there today, seeing it all and discussing the details. Like all cafe scientifiques, the format will be
to have a friendly scientist speak for 15 or 20 minutes without any slides, and then just have a nice
relaxed chat with the audience in the cafe. I'll be there to make introductions, help everyone
understand how it works, and to ask a few questions to get people talking. They have one or two
planned with someone else hosting early next year; I'd take over in March or April I think. I think it
sounds like great fun. Those who know me may recognise that I sometimes like to ask a question or
two...
