From morose misery to moderate merriment: an alternative take on Christmas! Had the most delightfully dark start to the festive season at The Old Woollen, Leeds. With masterful emceeing by a geophysicist, the evening moved swiftly from virology to musicology to ecology. @UCLSELCS

David Lynch - A huge and sad loss. A remarkably unique and very talented filmmaker. It was such a truly great pleasure to work with him. If his name was in the credits, you knew the film was really worth seeing. I will miss him.
