6th February 2014 |
To mark the second year of the Transmission Prize, our first Salon of 2014 gets up in the grill of Big Ideas.
David Tong, theoretical physicist from Cambridge gets the big questions out of the way early as he explains life, the universe and everything.
QI writer Stevyn Colgan connects the ideas that hit home in 2013. From epigenetics to psycho-biography, no matter what you didn’t get round to reading last year, this session will bring you up to speed.
Followed by Salon’s own Helen Bagnall who based on the predictions from our network of passionate experts, will condense the ideas you’ll need to know in 2014.
The Literary Platform’s Joanna Ellis will explain why you, the Salon crowd, are part of a movement that is changing the way we interact with ideas.
And author Ella Berthoud will be conducting on the spot bibliotherapy. Whatever your fears and hopes for 2014, Ella can recommend the book to help.
We will then award the Transmission Prize to the speaker with the biggest, best communicated, and most beautiful idea during the last year of Salon. The shortlist can be found here, and NO, it’s not too late to email us your much valued opinion.
All this will be found at 7:30pm on 6th February at Foyles, (Doors at 7:00pm), Charing Cross Road. Tickets here. Membership here.
