Dreaming about 2012…

Perhaps it's the excitement of my trip to the Cheltenham Science Festival at the end of the week that has prompted me to begin this blog, as the cogs are already whirring about the all the fun things we can do in 2012.

There’s no better way to begin the planning year than with a reconnaissance mission to another Festival and Cheltenham‘s line up is looking (nearly) as good as ours!

So looking forward to 2012, I’ve just updated the yearly plan, and have a blank timetable to fill. I have already drawn up a very long list of people, but it would be great to know who you want to see or what topics you’d like covered, so please get in touch.

A sneaky peak of my list includes Professor Brian Cox, Richard Wiseman, Stefan Gates, Helen Arney, Jim Al Kalili, the list goes on and on. I’m also planning more hands on events for adults and an even bigger family programme so put the 12 – 25 March in your diary because it’s going to be action packed.

I’m not going to give too much away at this stage but there are some very big things in the pipeline. Be sure to check back for regular updates on how the Festival is shaping up, including exclusives, questions and competitions. I’ll also add updates whilst I’m out and about at other events organised by the University of Cambridge and beyond over the next few months. Check the What’s On guide for details of the many events we have on offer.

See you around!
