Really excited to be speaking about You Don't Know What You're Missing at the Stratford literary festival later on today.

I'll be in conversation with the excellent Clare Clark at 2pm.

Perhaps I'll see you there too if you're in the area.

I was on BBC Inside Science earlier, reprising my role as Presenter's Friend.

We chatted about record greenhouse gas levels, measuring the prevalence of sport induced brain disease and the second most expensive dinosaur ever sold at auction
