…it’s Science Showoff time (well it will be next Tuesday). That magnificent monthly occasion when enthusiasts from all walks of science tread the boards in an entertaining manner in a pub, a nice pub in fact. There’s live demos, banjo-playing quantum mechanicians and people with witty things to share with you across the spectrum from biology to astrophysics. There’s a good cause and a general feeling of bonhomie.

What’s missing? Engineers. There’s loads of stuff that engineers could talk about that this science-hungry audience would lap up. I had a go with cooking with concrete and a Forth Bridge demo, and now it’s my job to try to get more engineers to do the same. So if you think you it’s up your street then come on down on Tuesday to get the measure of the place.

The next one after that will be on the 5th June, when you could have a go yourself. Go on…
