Science Show-off (can be Engineering Show-off too)

Some of the Bristol EngD community have been tweeting today about Science Show-off. This seems to be similar to PubhD (or InngD, as we called it):

It’s a chaotic open mic night for scientists, science communicators, science teachers, historians and philosophers of science, students, science popularisers and anyone else with something to show off about science.

It happens at least once a month in London (the next one is at the Bloomsbury Theatre on Wednesday 5 February), and also all over the country - the Bristol gig is on 23 January at the Grain Barge at Hotwells and according to a @ScienceShowoff Tweet: "Woop. We'd love to have engineers on stage".

Signed-up performers take to the stage to show off their science (engineering). They might:

• Show a film they just made
• Try out a new demo
• Practice a new science comedy set
• Tell us about their new discovery
• Perform a 9-minute play about science
• Play their new song about protons
• Tell us what they’ve been up to
• Predict the future
• Give us a taster of their science-themed Edinburgh show
• Read us their latest science poem
• Try out a bit of a new science lesson on us
• Play us a short radio documentary
• Experiment on the crowd
• Read us a blogpost
• Perform an interpretive dance about science

Or anything else…

Update (13 January 2014) - EngD Research engineer Natasha Watson (from the IDC in Systems at University of Bath, and sponsored by Buro Happold) is talking at the Bristol Science Showoff event on 23 January (see post) at the Grain Barge:

Natasha will be telling you the story of the three little pigs… with a twist: building houses from sticks and straw isn’t too bad after all.
