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.

Fancy trying your hand at being funny at @scienceshowoff.bsky.social ? If you've not performed with us before pitch me your set of under ten minutes. Pays an equal split of the door money.
PAID GIG looking for comedians in London who have chronic pain for a new informal panel format talking to academic pain researchers. In October.
Just a feeler at the moment as I put the idea together to pitch to the festival / funder.
Can you message me in another way? Can't read DMs due to recent boneheaded UK legislation.

I'm looking for people who'd like to perform at a SPOOKY MEDICINE comedy show on October 29th. PAID (enough for you to write something new) 15 minute slots.
Think Halloween / Horror / Goth stuff
DM me if you've got ideas and fancy it
Got to perform stand up at the @royalsociety.org last night! What an amazing venue, and I got to catch up with my lovely former colleagues @katedoingscience.bsky.social and @sanahannan.bsky.social - Lancaster clearly makes very funny scientists! Huge thanks to @drstevex.bsky.social for inviting me.

I hate conspiracy theories. I think they're ruining society.
That being said, that lottery was 100 percent rigged.
