Bar and Ger

As followers of my blog will know, I performed in the one-act play "Bar and Ger" (by Geraldine Aron) during the Franklin One-Act Play festival on 1 April 2006. While I didn't win anything, John Atkinson won for best director, Kathy Clayton won for best actress, and the play won for best production. Many people have told me I deserved to win, but I did not. Kudos to Christopher Dudgeon who did win, for his performance as Gus in "The Dumb Waiter" by Harold Pinter.

Why science fact is cooler than science fiction

"Because they so rarely interact with matter we can shoot them straight through the Earth, and most will travel through without doing anything. Of course, most of them travel right through our detectors as well, but once in a blue moon one of them will interact – about one or so per day." – Dr Lisa Falk Harris, a particle physicist at the University of Sussex, on the nature of neutrinos.
