I've just found out I'll be one of the bloggers covering Edinburgh E2 the Edinburgh Enlightenment Exchange at the Edinburgh International Science Festival, which is exciting news! It's a full day of talks about innovative ways of communicating about science including creative collaborations between science and the arts. As a botanist by training, I'll be particularly interested in the talk about the continuing value of Botany by Stephen Blackmore the Regius Keeper at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh. The most exciting event though has to be the talk by quantum physicists Sabrina Maniscalco and Elsi Laine that will focus on the Quantum Circus project, which uses circus performance to explore quantum mechanics!
The event happens on Saturday and I think there are still tickets left, which can be booked here.

Quantum Circus conjures up such visions of botany and science and fun all wound together. Wish I could attend. Looking forward to your blogs about it all.
Best wishes for the event!
Circus performance to explore quantum mechanics. I could never have imagined anyhting like this...really enthralling.
Wow, that sounds awesome - congrats and have fun!
