It's a new year, and it's time to re-awaken those brandy soaked brain cells and get 2015's neurons firing with another dose of Nerd Nite London knowledge. This month we have the truths, myths and science of Jaws, an exploration of the power of hydrogen storage in the context of Tinder, and an interactive examination of engineering from the Science Museum's Punk Science team.
Be there and be square.
Nerd #1: Steve White- Jaws, a natural history
Few films can have had such a negative impact on their subject matter as Jaws. The image of the shark was forever tarnished by the movie but what was truth, what was myth, what was hard science and what was cheap-thrills Shark Week factumentary? Discover the truth behind the great white shark and why it attacks humans!
Bio: Steve gave up a burgeoning career in genetics to go and work for Marvel UK, beginning his career as colourist on Care Bears. He went on to work on a number of illustrious titles such as Transformers, Thundercats, The Real Ghostbusters and The Knights of Pendragon. He has since developed into a pretty decent artist, specialising in Natural History and paleoart, and has written a number of non-fiction children's book. He currently works at Titan Comics as senior editor, overseeing the launch of its new range of titles but also gets to work on Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which is pretty cool. He also has aspirations of being a novelist.
Nerd #2: Anna Ploszajski - Tinder and Hydrogen: an explosive mix
The only thing worse than internet dating is internet dating as a female scientist. The lack of filters means that all of the pick-up one-liners you receive render the sender deeply unsuitable for one reason or the other. However, once you bring hydrogen storage into the equation, the reaction becomes even more unpredictable.
Bio: Anna is a PhD student in materials science at UCL. By day she researches solid materials which store hydrogen for use in portable applications like cars and electronic devices. By night she crusades for gender equality in the sciences and amasses a list of traj dating tales.
Nerds #3: Jon Milton and Sam Furniss- Punk Science presents Engineering
An interactive game show that will be paying tribute to the great world of engineering. Have fun, perhaps win some prizes and hopefully learn something about engineering.
Punk Science are the resident comedy team of the Science Museum. Jon Milton and Sam Furniss have both been part of the stand up comedy circuit and have lots of experience performing interactive Science shows at the Science Museum. Combining these two things to interest and entertain adults - why should children get all the fun.
