    Anyone attend? I thought his tallk was good. He covered his work with laser cooling/atom trapping and segued into stuff about climate change and energy stuff. Easy to follow, a few laughs aswell

    I attended his lecture in Glasgow on Tuesday where he (I assume) gave the same lecture as in DCU. It was a very nice talk, probably one of the most interesting I've been to. I work in laser cooling and cold atoms, and it was refreshing to hear some of the deeper topics in cell biology.

    Thought it was a nice talk. I was kinda hoping for something a bit more technical and in depth. That said after getting in it was clear that probably alot of people attending were not from a science background or were very early in science education. That said I thought it was clever the way he managed to connect his current job to his former work. And as a colleague said to me after, "it was nice to see that a nobel prize winners power point slides are a ****ty as mine"
