Sent on behalf of the ABSW
Two things. Firstly please do get into the festive spirit, forget the gloom of the financial crisis and join us at a pre-Christmas briefing on December 15th - guaranteed to be funny!
Secondly, On January 20th the evening of our AGM and launch party for the 6th World Conference of Science Journalists we are being joined by a group of our French colleagues and we need hosts. Can you offer a bed just for the night of the 20th Jan? They aren't fussy and will do the same for you. Please let me (Barbie) know - [log in to unmask] I have already offered to take two! Thanks
Now, get out the diary, check the date and make a booking for:-
The Comedy Research Project
The Top Five Best Things In Science - Ever!

The Comedy Research Project
Timandra Harkness and Helen Pilcher
Helen Pilcher has a PhD in Molecular Neurobiology, but you wouldn't guess that from this show. She and Timandra both performed solo stand up comedy before a chance meeting at the Royal Society resulted in the Comedy Research Project, which aims to prove the hypothesis that science can be funny.
Helen also writes for Nature and other serious publications. Timandra also performs improvised comedy, writes films and is currently developing a science gameshow.
