Big bang interviews
I’m going on the radio today to do several interviews mainly about the cover feature I wrote for September’s Sky At Night magazine – “The next supernova”. However I’m also going to be talking about the Large Hadron Collider and how it is not going to destroy the Earth. This webpage here is a good read if you still aren’t convinced. This morning most of the interviews are pre-recorded so I’m not sure exactly when they will be aired; but if you are in the Coventry and Warwickshire area I’ll be talking live to Annie Othen on BBC radio there just after lunch, today.
Lastly, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who came to my lecture on Saturday at the Herstmonceux Astronomy Festival in Sussex. I really enjoyed the weekend and can really recommend the science centre there if you are visiting the area. Look out for a special episode of the S@N podcast on Herstmonceux coming out soon.
“Demeaning to science, and insulting to scientists.”
There’s an excellent piece in today’s Times from their Science Editor, , about the Large Hadron Collider and specifically the damaging side-effects of the alarmist coverage being spouted by some parts of the media at the moment. Meanwhile tune into BBC Radio Four on 10th September for Big Bang day and the big switch on!
