Ben Goldacre lecture - Mitchell Library, Glasgow, 7th March

Ehhh, don't know if this should go in this forum but it's not really a "gig" and it's part of the "Aye Write" book festival, so here seemed appropriate.

Anyway, for anyone who cares, Ben Goldacre of Bad Science blog/columns/book fame is giving a talk about something or other in the Mitchell Library in Glasgow a week tomorrow at 3pm.

Tickets here.

My friend Cat says he is brilliant, very fun doing lectures and very smart. Mind you, she does fancy him, so maybe a bit biased.

This was pretty good, pretty much just "highlights of the book", though. And he was a bit pushed for time so there was no Q+A and he had to cut a section on 'superfoods'.

Definitely a book promo tour, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Turns out he’s an eloquent public speaker and funny bloke to boot. The part about the shed cracked me up.

Was quite good. My boyfriend enjoyed it which gives us, horror of horrors, a shared common interest. He definately needed much more than an hour though.
