has anyone seen the exhibition? at first i thought "science in kettle's yard? - it's going to be pseudo-mystic claptrap" (i like(d) the place, but i can't say i've ever heard a lot of sense talked about science there). but looking at the list of exhibits, maybe it's too far "the other way": malcolm longair supplying prints of cobe data; "witty" title about supermodels for dna exhibit (wince)... i guess i just can't be pleased (but some of the exhibits do sound fascinating).
