PeerJ Friday Fun – stand up for your science

Later today, in an unprecedented event in the history of Science, CERN is hosting an evening of LHComedy! For those of you who can’t make it to Switzerland by 8pm local time (CEST), it will be streamed live via: http://lhcomedy.web.cern.ch/

Six CERN affiliated scientists (Sam Gregson, Alex Brown, Benjamin Frisch, Claire Lee, Hugo Day and Clara Nellist) will explain their research and lift the lid on what it is like to work at CERN using the medium of stand-up comedy. They will be ably supported by host Helen Keen (BBC4’s ‘It is Rocket Science’), geek-pop cabaret sensation Jonny Berliner, Pierre Novellie (Chortle Student Comedian of the year 2012 finalist) and Lieven Scheire (‘De Laaste Show’ and ‘Scheire en de Schepping’).
