Summer science exhibition on now

[nanila]

The Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition opened to the public yesterday! It's on at the Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton Terrace (just off The Mall) through Sunday 10 July. There are 22 exhibits from physics, chemistry, biology, maths, engineering and medicine. Loads of fun interactives, piles of free stuff and many eager energetic scientists to tell you about their work in memorable, bite-size chunks. Please do drop by if you have the time and are geographically compatible.

I'm on the Aurora Explorer stand tomorrow (Thursday 7 July) from 13:30 to 17:00, but will have to depart promptly to go to the Harry Potter premiere. I'm also there on Sunday 10 July from 14:30 to 18:00, when the exhibition closes. Tip: exhibitors will be looking to offload remaining freebies on Sunday, so if you want toys/magnets/keyrings/postcards/other swag, Sunday afternoon is the time to go.

The baby spacecraft I painted are currently having their 5 seconds of fame on the BBC web site here at 02:44, and you can explore the exhibits online on the RSSE web site here.

We had a fantastic time at the exhibition yesterday evening. Sorry we missed you!

[nanila]

Yes, me too. I think I'm probably going to miss you tomorrow as well, because the garden party runs from 11:30 to 2:30 PM, which means I certainly won't make it to London in time to meet you. :/

I'd like to have a mellow drink/chat with you sometime after things calm down next month!

I'd like to meet up, too.
I'm not Loop walking tomorrow because of a family commitment: I'm hoping to catch up on that section on 7th August, and you'd be welcome to join me.

I hope the garden party's fun!

I get back from Iceland on 6 August, so if I'm not exhausted, I'll do my best to join you!
