I have been a wandering scientist (as well as a wondering scientist, which all scientists are by default) for a year now, but I have been wandering within a fairly narrow geographical area, taking work as and when it comes my way. Today, I got the news I have been waiting for. The confirmation that I will be able to spread my love of science further afield. I am going to be part of a bona fide science roadshow!!
Thanks to an old (sorry, a former – she’s not actually old herself!) colleaugue at the Lincolnshire &Rutland EBP I have landed possibly the coolest job that I could ever have wished for.
I will be working as a science busker for the BBC show Bang Goes The Theory on their live tour of the UK
The tour will take in four cities across the UK – Birmingham , Edinborough, Sheffield (my old stomping ground) and Poole (Dorset ) between March and June. Each event will be filled with sciency fun and frolics, and I will be a part of that! I may only be a small part, but I will do my darndest to make sure that whatever I am demonstrating, and whoever I am demonstrating it to, the members of the public who meet me leave with a little more knowledge, and a lot more curiosity and enthusiasm about all things scientific!
