A gentle reminder to pay your freelancer invoices before Xmas.
You know how you pay your PAYE staff early in December because everyone in Finance goes away from the end of this week until January? We also need to be able to afford crackers and tinsel.
If you'd like to see an amateur comedy routine vaguely on the subject of peer review involving lots of puns and me forgetting a line, look no further! Credit and thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for the video and, as always, being a very funny, supportive compere!

NOW RECRUITING FUNNY ENGINEERS.
On March 4th The Brunel Museum and I are running an engineering-themed fundraising comedy gig and I'm looking for acts.
10 minute sets, unpaid, and a chance to play an iconic (but pretty inaccessible) venue. This is them: thebrunelmuseum.com
Who would like a show?
TOMORROW! Catch London's hottest Arts and Humanities talent telling jokes about their work. Just a few tickets left: wegottickets.com/event/679150
17.11.2025 10:07 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0I'll be performing at this - really looking forward to it! It'll be my sixth time doing stand-up, almost a year exactly since I first tried it. Also my fifth different set, which is admittedly a slightly abnormal way of approaching things.

FREELANCING HUNT
I've had a couple of really frustrating cancellations and work ghostings recently SO
I have loads of space in my diary until the end of Jan. Hire me for all your training, event hosting, workshop enlivening, facilitation, comedy & photography needs! Or a bespoke work-themed quiz.
An over the shoulder mod shot of me performing some bespoke spooky stand up. I am lit in read but my face is illuminated by the iPad screen
These days I mainly gig just to catch up on my reading.
Thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for another lovely show at The Old Operating Theatre and for the lush snaps x
Now sorted. Phew!

Need a fun Christmas activity for your work?
Something a bit different?
I create and host bespoke silly quizzes, themed around you workplace. Drop me a line and I’ll tell you all about it.
I’ve done this for companies, conferences, loads of universities and more. You next?

The entire "free speech on campus" moral panic was manufactured to blackmail us into making space in intellectual life for bigots and charlatans who couldn't get there on their own merits. Its a DEI scheme for fascism. Congratulations to everyone who took it at face value.

Fill your brain with joy and FACTS.
Interesting! I'll dig further thanks.
It's hard to position yourself as a consultant if the rules change massively!
Or easy, depending how they change.
Over on The World's Only Science Podcast I've been watching Paycheck (2003) with Leah Morgan. Come learn what a professional Reverse Engineer is and what happens when you microwave your brain.
From sites.libsyn.com/474930/episo... or wherever you get podcasts.
My day of free headshots for science people went so well in London that I'm doing one in Cambridge. Oct 9th afternoon at Canopy (CISL). Email steve@londonsci.com if you'd like free pictures to use to promote yourself and do websites and socials and that.
