Boston Dynamics robot dog Tim Boddy
Dear reader,
There are only three weeks to go聽until , our annual extravaganza in London. If聽you are around that weekend, do please join us. You can also access the events online this year if you are keen to take part but aren鈥檛 able聽to attend in person.
If you haven鈥檛 been before, the聽show is a mixture of live talks by some of the world鈥檚 most interesting scientists, technologists and environmentalists, and also a聽bustling exhibition floor with a hugely diverse range of stalls and activities. Last year, my favourite exhibit was a Boston Dynamics robot dog (which is returning this year, by the way), but my must-do this October is definitely the flint-knapping activity聽鈥 since, even though I am a keen collector of stone tools, I have never actually tried to make one before!

The talks are always the real highlight for me though. I am probably most looking forward to , who will update us on the James Webb Space Telescope and everything we have learned from it so far. In fact, early bird discounted tickets for the Saturday are still available, but be quick as the offer ends on 17 September.
All the details of this year鈥檚 show, and tickets, can be found at
