An event well worth the ticket – even a Ferengi would agree!

The annual World Science Fiction Convention begins on Thursday Aug 14th at London’s ExCeL, bringing together authors, artists, publishers, and fans of science fiction and fantasy.

I’m excited to be participating in one of the stands in the Exhibitors Hall: “The Great Cosmic Show”, located at Stand 66 in the Exhibitors Hall of the Convention, sets out to achieve something nearly impossible: more difficult than a long-lasting alliance between Klingons and Romulans; more improbable than a collaboration between humans and the Cylons; more adventurous than a trip with Luke Skywalker himself, “The Great Cosmic Show” will bring together scientists from Imperial and UCL to boldly take outreach where no-one has gone before!

Join us from Thur Aug 14th to Mon Aug 18th to learn about the dark side of the Universe, exoplanets, Mars exploration, space weather and solar storms, the taste of space, smashing galaxies and much more!
