The Diet Myth and why microbes make you fat
We are all living longer but becoming fatter and less healthy. Much of this is due to our recent changes diet and lifestyle. We have been misled by many common myths and pseudo-science especially surrounding faddish diets. What is less well known is that underlying this are massive changes to the trillions of microbes that live in our guts.Bonding with our microbes could be the solution to our current ills.
Tim Spector is Professor of Genetics, Founder of TwinsUK and author.His main interest is what bit of biology makes us human, which are controlled by your genes and what is down to our environment- a topic he covered at Nerd Nite in 2014. His latest favourite field of research is on our microbes.
Under the streets of London
A face-off between two mortal enemies; archaeologists and engineers. This talk is about the discoveries made and challenges met by the archaeologists working on Crossrail, currently one of the biggest construction programmes in the world.

Very Poor, Casual. Chronic Want: East London through the eyes of Charles Booth
Victorian reformist Charles Booth was author of a series of 'Poverty Maps', covering nearly every street in Central London. The streets were assigned colours according to their socio-economic groupings and these groupings, along with their sometimes dubious descriptions of the residents' habits and lives provide a fascinating snapshot of London at the turn of the 20th Century. In this presentation, we will learn about the history, geography and literature of Charles Booth's London.
A Londoner for thirty years Sean Patterson trained as an actor at RADA and has an MA in London Studies from Queen Mary University. He is a qualified City of London, Westminster, and Clerkenwell and Islington guide. and runs the Charles Booth Walking Tour
