Need a fun Christmas activity for your work?

Something a bit different?

I create and host bespoke silly quizzes, themed around you workplace. Drop me a line and I’ll tell you all about it.

I’ve done this for companies, conferences, loads of universities and more. You next?

My day of free headshots for science people went so well in London that I'm doing one in Cambridge. Oct 9th afternoon at Canopy (CISL). Email steve@londonsci.com if you'd like free pictures to use to promote yourself and do websites and socials and that.

I'm on a hunt for freelance work. Lots of free time in my diary and looking to fill it up with projects. Use me for:

Training
Facilitation
Consultancy
Comedy
Hosting events
Photos, videos & podcasts

Oh I love helping university researchers to become hilarious for public engagement purposes. Here’s Dr Sana Hannan from Lancaster University with brilliant sleep science jokes last week at #BrightClub at the Borough.

Watching Three Body Problem? It’s actually a four body problem, plus it’s a show about booze and nuclear bombs don’t work like that. All this analysis and more on The World’s Only Science Podcast with me and Leah Morgan.

Humans now definitely have brain worms, so on the World's Only Science Podcast I got an expert in parasites to talk it through.
