The Dating Games: Can you guess who’s who?

We’re back for April but we’re not taking you for fools!

We are seeking 15 guys and 15 girls who are attracted to the opposite gender and single to come and participate in our speed dating game. So if you are open-minded, up for a laugh, looking for someone special and curious to learn about the science behind the dating game then this is the night for you!

Introduction
When you arrive you’ll be greeted by one of the cheerful Science London crew, they’ll hand you a drink to help calm any nerves (we’re so good to you). Then once everyone has arrived we’ll be breaking the ice with our resident funny man Dr Steve Cross (co-creator of Science Showoff and Bright Club). He’ll paint a smile on your mouth and shoot an arrow through your heart.

We thought we’d shake things up a bit and let you grill the expert before you attempt to woo one another.

This time we have Dr. Nathan Oesch who will be telling us about the nature of human courtship and how the dating mind works. Don’t be afraid to ask him your questions, after all it could be the difference between having a quick fumble or finding a meaningful connection with someone… guess it depends on your aim for the night.

Method
For this game we are going to be investigating how self-image and stereotypes can play a part in attraction.

From Beer to Biscuits, the maths of food

Maths is often thought of as a dry subject, far removed from reality. However, this is far from the case, and in fact maths is very important in food! In this talk Prof. Chris Budd from the University of Bath will talk about some of the maths needed to make beer, how maths can help you cook the perfect potato and why maths is vital to the biscuit business.

So please come along, and drink some beer or eat a potato.
