QEDCon Retrospective Part 1

The blog of Dr Tom Williamson, atheist, humanist, skeptic and Norwich City fan!

Myself, Lee Christie, Tannice Pendegrass, Trish Hann, Alex Gabriel and Rhys Morgan discuss QEDCon 2012, a weekend conference of science and skepticism. Day one highlights included talks by Steve Jones, David Aaronovitch, Ophelia Benson, Sarah Angliss, Massimo Polidoro and Richard Saunders. The evenings entertainment featured the first ever Skeptic Magazine awards, as well as stand up sets from Alun Cochrane, Robin Ince and Paul Zenon. The evening concluded with an embarrassing incident involving trousers. Stay tuned for part two! The QEDCon theme is copyright Miltion Mermikides and is used with permission.

Sarah Angliss’s talk was indeed very interesting. The recording equipment she had was far older than the 1930s though. It was an Edison Phonograph from the 19th century. She even had a recording of Florence Nightingale!
