Just a heads up in case any of you are intrested:
The lecture series, called Size Matters, will air on BBC Four in late December.
The King’s College London scientist will explore the peculiar living and non-living matter that makes up the universe and will ask the eternal question - does size matter? Mark will explain how hamsters can survive falling from an aircraft without a parachute, why our planet is so puny, and explain the extraordinary hidden powers of human hair.
Commenting on the announcement, Professor Chris Bishop from Microsoft Research, who presented the 2008 Christmas Lectures, said: “The Royal Institution Christmas Lectures have inspired generations of young people to become scientists. Microsoft Research is pleased once again to be sponsoring the Lectures, and is delighted at the plans to expand the profile and impact of the lectures this year.”
