I suffer from insomnia. It’s something I deal with by drinking bucketfuls of chamomile tea and occasionally getting up past midnight to watch mind-numbing television, to try to switch my brain off. But last night my brain went into overdrive. It was gorging itself on ideas and information following the first session in a new project I’ve been helping to develop…

We’ve been busy organising Bristol’s first Bright Club, with a little bit of help from friends at University College London and a strategic grant from the British Science Association. With three weeks still to go, we’ve sold most of the tickets in advance… Bristol loves Bright Club already. Hooray!

While I was busy organising a solar-powered stage at Green Man Festival, Sounds of Science affiliate Julianna was making a film about the Festival’s hydrogen-powered Omni-Tent. She did a great job of convincing all of her friends to pose as hydrogen and oxygen atoms for the film. Not only that… they dance too! Here are the results:
VIDEO The film was supported by an Institute of Physics grant and was shown between every (hydrogen-powered!) performance in the Omni-Tent.

Much of August was spent building up to and recovering from Einstein’s Garden at Green Man Festival . I was managing the Solar Stage there; Jim was broadcasting for Green Man FM , and doing a sterling job plugging all of my acts as well as a bunch of other Geek Pop artists. It was a balmy few days weather-wise, as well as workwise.
I’ve since been experimenting with Storify for aggregating social media content relating to Einstein’s Garden from lots of different sources. It doesn’t work perfectly and takes some considerable fiddling but here are the results. I think it produces a lovely, if not-very-scientific, analysis of the social media response to the project. Though the Storify folks should really think about including some different options for automatically organising content. After a couple of hours of organising everything chronogically I decided I wanted my story to run from first to last post rather than last to first (a la Twitter streams). I then had to spend the rest of the day manually reversing the order of my posts…

As readers of this blog will know, I’m a sucker for anything combining science and the arts , and especially the musical arts. So when I was asked to manage the Solar Stage in Einstein’s Garden at the amazing Green Man Festival, I jumped at the chance. My task, basically: to populate a festival programme with nerds. And mostly singing ones…
