Your intrepid host (that's me) is off to london tonight - so that tomorrow I can take part in Fame Lab
My first 3 minute talk is going to be about my Venus Fly Trap (it's called Williams) - and if they put me thru to the afternoon - then I'm talking about the Lion-King panorama from Opportunity for 5 minutes.
So - wish me luck - whatever happens I think I'll have a blast.

Break a leg...
Go get 'em Doug 
It appears the venue has internet access - if I get thru the first round ( with the help of Williams the Venus Flytrap - or Dionae Muscipula to its friends ) - then I'll try and pop online and post the good news in this thread 
If I get thru the second round to the final - I'll be too stunned to comment.

good luck doug!
Well - it was a good morning, but I didnt go thru to the afternoon round. A very VERY talented guy went thru, with a brilliant researcher into ape-language as a reserve.
Well worth trying out just for the experience - on to April 23rd and my talk at the British Astronomical Assoc

Bad luck. I was wondering what the result had been, but given the lack of "Oh My God, I won!" posts from you, I suspected you hadn't got to do a tearful acceptance speech.
From what I gather of such things, persistence counts for a lot, so I'm sure you'll get there in the end.

PS. hope Williams wasn't too upset
Oh - Williams performed perfectly Snapped 90% closed which was exactly what I wanted to prove (she wont close 100% unless what triggers it struggles around like a fly, so they dont try and eat things like rain or leaves)
If they do it next year, I'll have another go - now I know the routine I think I could tailor my first talk much better
Off to see Omid Djalili at the Soho Theatre now
