On Saturday 8th September we brought you the x-change DEMO SPECTACULAR! And, as promised, here is the video of the whole thing. This edition features cereal boxes, smoking jelly babies and strategically-placed electric shocks... It's time to button up your lab coat and put on your goggles as we take a look at the biggest demonstrations and experiments from the British Science Festival.
This is the first in a series of x-tras, short one-on-one interviews with speakers from the British Science Festival 2012 who were unable to take part in the x-change.
First up, Julie Gould interviews Bill Bryson, an award winning author of A Short History of Nearly Everything.
This brings the 2012 series of the x-change to a close! We’d like to say a huge thank you to our amazing guests who made each show such a success.
We’d also like to thank the tireless staff from the University of Aberdeen who made us feel so welcome in our temporary Spiegeltent home as well as all the Festival assistants.
And finally – we have to thank our talented host Richard Hollingham for his seamless facilitation and for being such a good sport! The x-change couldn’t happen without the hard work of our dedicated volunteers working behind the scenes – Caroline, Emma, Liz and Marcus and Julie, our Science in Society Assistant.
Goodbye from team x-change!
You haven’t seen the last of us – keep an eye out for our x-change x-tras for exclusive interviews with other speakers from around the Festival as well as photos, videos and more!
