Glad that Helen Arney, Matt Parker and I will present “An Evening of Unnecessary Detail” at the Alex James Farm in Kingham on the 26th of August 2023! – ”An Evening of Unnecessary Detail” is an event where we ask enthusiasts, scientists, and/or comedians to talk about whatever they want. By attending this event, you revoke all rights to complain about the level of detail they choose to do so in. #kingham #aneveningofunnecessarydetail #science #scienceevent #festivalofthespokennerd #interestingfacts
