Royal Society readies Glastonbury for eggheads
Summer exhibition should be mud-free
Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime
Diary marker From tiny fitness trainers and simulated surgery to high pressure situations on Earth and the possibility of generating life on Mars, the Royal Society's annual Summer Exhibition in London has got it covered.
Exhibitors from all over the UK are probably already on trains, planes, and automobiles on their way to the big smoke to set up their posters and demonstrations of the science that is on the sharpest of cutting edges.
Just the thing for the week after a Glastonbury mudbath.
There is stuff for space nuts, ocean explorers, maths junkies, and environmental tree-huggers. And probably just about anyone else with even a passing interest in science. There is even something passing itself off as art.
Last year we went along and pushed enough buttons to create a universe without enough entropy. Or dark energy. Or something like that. Goodness only knows what they might have come up with for 2007.
Things kick off on Monday at 6pm, and the exhibition is open to all from 10am on Tuesday 3 July. point your browser here for details and directions. ®

Considering that Glastonbury
was in the middle of a swampy lake in the past, one should not be suprised that sometimes it turns into one given enough water. By the way, the blackboard idea is hilarious.
Science!
It's a shame these scientists couldn't actually solve the problem of a muddy Glastonbury. I'm sure they could think of several solutions. Perhaps the soil could be impregnated with a special chemical that prevents it from absorbing moisture, or perhaps the ground could be covered with a special plastic that transforms the rainwater into sound waves. Perhaps Glastonbury could be enveloped in a dome of water-repelling gas; or the whole site could be elevated a few feet off the ground.
I admit that I have misread the headline. I admit it.
