Journeying back from the ever-fascinating New Scientist Live show, 2024 edition.

A list of the talks I managed to get to in person:

  • Weird science: An introduction to anomalistic psychology, by Christopher French.
  • A life of crime? By Anne Coxon.
  • Our accidental universe, by Chris Lintott.
  • Generation pup: The science behind the UK’s pooches, by Rachel Casey.
  • The balanced brain: The science of mental health.
  • The atomic human, by Neil Lawrence.
  • How we break: Navigating the wear and tear of living, by Vincent Deary.
  • The human-fungal symbiosis, by Nicholas Money.

More words coming on some of these in the future quite likely.

Unfortunately I was compelled to miss last year’s sci-fest, but here’s the equivalent post from 2022.
