Man Vs. Winter
I just spent a week in Vermont – where we normally ski in a winter wonderland covered in four feet of fluffy powder. This year, it was 24c, cloudless and sunny, and we went for a nature walk. I simultaneously love and loathe when environmental specialists (like myself) are proven correct in our assertion that climate change will progress more dramatically than anyone ever thought possible.

Glamour Factory
Guerilla Science hosted our first event at a London art gallery last night – a new habitat for science by stealth. See a roundup of what we created, from an immortality tour to a gender workshop, here.
