The premiere of Philosopher’s Hat this week was a great success! Thank you so much to those who joined.
We had a medical software engineer, a physicist, mathematician, zoologist, archaeologist, botanist, behavioural ecologists and cultural evolutionists all discussing gravitational waves from 7.30 until the pub closed! Fantastic discussion; here are some links we discussed for those interested:
