Who attended?

    •  Some interesting information, but probably directed at a more specialist audience. The conclusion seemed to be that science communicators should stop trying to address the "uninterested" audience, and instead concentrate on converting the merely "interested" into "attentive". 
    •  Lecture interesting, though not so well delivered. Pubs closed afterwards was a bit rubbish. Pizza good though.
