Cartoons in science
Professor Jim Matthew
Emeritus Professor, Department of Physics, The University of York
Science is a serious business but it is important to laugh at it at regular intervals. Cartoons are a special form of humour in which a few squiggles are sufficient to promote both insight and amusement on a topic. In politics-yes. In science? Not so clear. The talk investigates how cartoons can not only lampoon scientists but can also convey useful scientific messages. Whether you are a scientist or not, you will enjoy an evening of thought-provoking laughter.
