Interview with Simon Singh
Stem cell scandal: prison for one surgeon, pay bonus for another, a blog by Peter Wilmshurst & Patricia Murray drpeterwilmshurst.wordpress.com/2025/08/19/ste…
Looking forward to seeing Matt's show this evening... and I would strongly recommend this (very funny) (and scary) ghost tour if you are in Edinburgh cityofedinburghtours.com/all-tours/famo…
Sure, my show is getting good reviews. But did I mention that the venue is also air conditioned? See you in there Edinburgh! pleasance.co.uk/event/getting-…
Make sure you catch one of Matt's other shows if you are in Edinburgh this month ... but just not tonight.
Sadly, my show at the #EdFringe has been can cancelled tonight because the wind is consistently above the safety rating of the venue awnings. Which leaves a mere 21 shows left to go. pleasance.co.uk/event/getting-…
At @edfringe I am presenting The Worlds Most Boring Card Trick. It’s genuinely dull - do you what it takes to endure it? One show only. Details here. open.substack.com/pub/richardwis…
I was delighted to be asked to give this year's Vicky Neale Public Lecture in Oxford next month. She was a genuinely wonderful person, and someone who brought a lot of common sense to maths communication. She is much missed.
Our much missed colleague Vicky Neale wanted to tell the world about maths. So who better for the second Vicky Neale Public Lecture than Simon Singh who has spent a career doing just that. Wednesday 6 August, 5pm. Online three weeks later. More info: maths.ox.ac.uk/node/72339
