Scientists have been our heroes in the past two years – developing vaccines at record speed to save us from the worst of the pandemic, writes Karen Morley-Chesworth. And for the comedian and co-presenter of BBC Radio 4’s The Infinite Monkey Cage, Robin Ince science is something he has fallen in love with.
I saw Robin at a previous Words by the Water event, and he is so entertaining and informative, I am really looking forward to seeing him again.
His new book is The Importance of Being Interested, and in his event at Theatre by the Lake, he reveals why scientific wonder isn’t just for the professionals but for us all to enjoy.
Robin has interviewed a wide range of people about what science means to them, from astronauts to comedians, teachers to neuroscientists. I can’t wait to find out what he makes of their responses. This is a must-see event at Words by the Water 2022.
Before the real-life science, best-selling author Ann Cleeves looks at The Art of Crime Fiction.
The Heron’s Cry is her second book featuring Detective Matthew Venn – but what does it take to create a compelling crime novel? Discover the secret formula at her event at 12.30 pm in the Main House on Thursday, 17 March.
