Recommend speakers
Can anyone recommend really good science speakers – preferably with great powerpoints and even some interactive stuff? UK based. It’s for CFI events.

Jack Cohen is a great speaker. A quotation from a book he co-authored:”Science is the best defense against believing what we want to”.
Invitation sent, Ken.
Ben Goldacre is pretty good, apparently. And cheap. 🙂
Simon Singh is an entertaining and knowledgeable speaker on scientific matters.http://www.simonsingh.net/
Completely off topic, but: Did the pain from your two broken clavicles eventually subside, Stephen? Sorry, forgot to ask earlier 🙂
Still hurts a bit, especially at night. The left is setting, though rather wonky. The right one is not broken but permanantly dislocated. But that shouldn’t be a problem I am told (though it sticks up a bit, thus marring my otherwise flawless beauty)
Permanantly dislocated?! They can’t put your clavicle back in place? I never heard of a permanent dislocation before.To commemorate your wreck (or completely by accident), I took my own little spill Friday. Fortunately, I broke the fall for my road bike, and it came away with nother more than the seat and breaks out of place. As for me, I sprained my knee, possibly taring ligaments, and scraped the skin of my knee, shoulder, wrist and forearms. I wasn’t doing anything exciting, impressive or noteworthy, but the incident did convince my to get the perscription on my glasses updated.
I’d reccommend Ben Goldacre as well!
Goldacre has said yes….
