“Alom Shaha (UK) is a filmmaker, science writer and public speaker, who also finds time to teach Physics at a Comprehensive School in London. He has a reputation for making science and other difficult ideas easy to understand for mass audiences, having worked as a creative consultant on projects from community arts events to children’s TV programs. His creative approach to science communication has been recognised with a fellowship from the National Endowment for Science Technology and the Arts. The Young Atheists Handbook is due for publication in 2012.”
So is there a topic for this talk, or are we just supposed to take it on faith that it will be worth attending? Is the speaker’s biography supposed to be enough to attract adherents?
