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….
