Dr Illingworth & Mr Simpson

The result? A diverse display of rhyme, rhythm and reason, which celebrates the creative similarities between science and the performing arts.
Hosted by scientific poet Dan Simpson and poetic scientist Dr. Sam Illingworth, this will be an evening of precise delights and unexpected insights.
