Looking forward to seeing Matt's show this evening. and I would strongly recommend this (very funny) (and scary) ghost tour if you are in Edinburgh
cityofedinburghtours.com
Edinburgh is undoubtedly the most haunted city in the world! are you ready to find out why? Let one of Edinburgh most infamous sons or daughters lead you round the dark side of Edinburgh’s Old Town.
Sure, my show is getting good reviews. But did I mention that the venue is also air conditioned? See you in there Edinburgh!

Make sure you catch one of Matt's other shows if you are in Edinburgh this month . but just not tonight.
Sadly, my show at the #EdFringe has been can cancelled tonight because the wind is consistently above the safety rating of the venue awnings. Which leaves a mere 21 shows left to go.

I was delighted to be asked to give this year's Vicky Neale Public Lecture in Oxford next month. She was a genuinely wonderful person, and someone who brought a lot of common sense to maths communication. She is much missed.
Our much missed colleague Vicky Neale wanted to tell the world about maths. So who better for the second Vicky Neale Public Lecture than Simon Singh who has spent a career doing just that. Wednesday 6 August, 5pm. Online three weeks later. More info:

Our goal is to recruit 1,000 more state school mathematicians over the next 12 months, offering them a life-changing opportunity. The support of Bolton School is invaluable. Two of their teachers (funded by the school) will join us as tutors from September. Huge thanks.
We are delighted to be supporting this @SLSingh project from September by providing tutors for weekly sessions. Excited to add an online dimension to our existing partnerships and outreach work!
