* * Original post updated to share to 2016 Festival details * *


After such great feedback from the readers of this forum, I?m pleased to share details of this year?s Imperial Festival - a free weekend event that is perfect for families.


Make a date with discovery and enjoy the livelier side of science at the 2016 Imperial Festival on 7/8 May, bringing you ground-breaking research, music and art, talks, dance and workshops.


If you've ever wondered if you can outsmart a robot, what your pee says about you, or whether music makes you healthy, then we have the festival for you.


This free weekend of hands-on, inspiring science is open to all. So whether you're a regular or first-time visitor to the College, join us to celebrate the fifth Imperial Festival.


* Saturday 7 May 12.00-18.00

* Sunday 8 May 12.00-17.00


Imperial?s South Kensington Campus on Exhibition Road (nearest tubes are South Kensington or Gloucester Road)


You can explore the programme online at http://www.imperial.ac.uk/festival, but highlights include:

* Take part in over 40 hands-on research?s demonstrations in our Research Zone, including opportunities to explore astrophysics through food, find out what your pee says about your lifestyle, make art with fat, and play noughts and crosses with lasers

* Explore a unique horseless carriage exhibition, with cars from the turn of the 20th Century being displayed alongside new research into the future of mobility within our brand new Transport Zone

* Meet the next generation of robots that could revolutionise our daily lives and explore how research into the inner workings of our brain could produce true artifical intelligence

* Listen to an inspiring talks programme on everything from predicting the future through science fiction, the health of the Chinese economy, and the geology behind Italy?s dramatic scenery

* Have a tipple at our pop-up pub, the Haemo Globe Inn

* Make jelly worms and DNA bracelets with your young budding scientists in the Explore Zone

* Propose ideas for Paralympic sports of the future with students from the Department of Bioengineering

* Journey into the tiny world of bacteria and the organisms that share our homes and bodies, before learning all about the threat of antimicrobial resistance in our Superbug Zone

* Get away from the crowds with our tours programme featuring opportunities to relax under a sky full of stars in our pop-up planetarium, and become fully immersed in new research within our 313 degree, 64 screen Data Observatory

* Enjoy food and drink from the London Farmer?s Market

Just a reminder - Imperial Festival is this weekend! The weather is going to be gorgeous and there's lots to do outside - plus the London Farmers' Market for yummy food. I've just watched some of the veteran cars arrive for the "horseless carriage" exhibition in the Festival transport zone, and they are fabulous!


Hope to see some of you there - I'll be in the info tent all weekend so if you have questions, come find me!

    • what sort of bike are you looking for - men's , ladies, size. commuter, mountain or racer etc etc. And what is your budget?
    • Is  the  decision by the High Court not to  deport an Eritrean man  to France on Wednesday anything other than a massive boost for Farage and reform. Farage has made a commitment for the UK to exit the ECHR which limits the independence of our justice system The UK Government’s “one in, one out” has failed at the first hurdle - just as the Rwanda scheme did under the Tories. To make it even more embarrassing is that the accommodation for deportees   in Rwanda paid for by the UK is now being used by the USA for its deportees. If we are to have Farage thrust upon us as a result of such judicial decisions, then God help us.
    • I recently hired Andy to paint the newly plastered walls in my front room, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. From the start, he offered a fair and reasonable price for the work, and his professionalism really stood out. Andy has a wealth of experience and was happy to share suggestions about colour choices and paint types, which made the decision-making process much easier. He completed the work within the agreed timescale, and I am very happy with the finish.  What impressed me most is that Andy went above and beyond what I initially asked. He not only painted the room beautifully but also helped with extra tasks such as putting up the wall bracket, curtain poles, and curtains, and even gave me a hand moving furniture between rooms. That level of support is rare and very much appreciated. If you’re looking for a painter and decorator who is reliable, trustworthy, reasonably priced, experienced, and willing to go the extra mile to help, I would highly recommend Andy.
    • John recently skimmed the walls in our front room lounge, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the result. From start to finish, he was professional, punctual, and easy to work with.   He arrived on time each day and kept me updated on progress, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. The quality of his plastering is smooth, even, and ready to paint with minimal prep. He takes real pride in his work.   John was also very tidy, laying down protective sheets and cleaning up thoroughly after the job was done. It’s clear he respects his clients’ homes, which I really appreciated.   On top of that, he’s friendly, approachable, and trustworthy someone you feel comfortable having in your home. His pricing was fair and transparent, with no unexpected costs.   Highly recommended if you're looking for a skilled and reliable plasterer. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future work.
