Presented by regular Alok Jha it was a series of talks/demos about science in the famous Faraday theatre. We had the transmission of heat demonstrated with a bang, optical illusions, inflating pig's lungs, a new hominini species with an opposable toe to rival Lucy and the proceedings ended with an explosion. Great fun and strong reminiscent of the Christmas Lectures held there every year.

Science Weekly Live at the Royal Institution...
Last night I attended a recording of the Guardian Science Weekly Live at the beautiful Royal Institution of Great Britain building in London's glitzy Mayfair.
Presented by regular Alok Jha it was a series of talks/demos about science in the famous Faraday theatre. We had the transmission of heat demonstrated with a bang, optical illusions, inflating pig's lungs, a new hominini species with an opposable toe to rival Lucy and the proceedings ended with an explosion.
