Coffee and conversation (and competition entries)

Thanks again to everyone who entered our competition. There was so much good stuff that we had a hard time shortlisting. Invitations to our workshop with Science Made Simple will go out shortly, so keep an eye on your inboxes!
Invited participants are in for a treat, because the workshop will be lead by 'Mr Science-Busking' himself, David Price. Here's a video of David at work, which we've also favourited on our YouTube Channel:

Most of the team met at Charles Darwin House yesterday to discuss the competition entries, stall layout, festival applications, etc. It was a pretty productive afternoon - fuelled by enthusiasm and homemade muffins we even managed to agree on a Twitter hashtag for our festival activities: #BESfest

Things are getting exciting and we'll have a few announcements to make in the next week or two, so watch this space...
