Funny you should mention that! You could come down this evening and 
check it out, and take in an interesting talk from Mark Henderson who's 
just published a book about getting science and evidence-based policy 
into government, media and public life:

I suspect you may not be over-awed by the beer but if Mark's talk is 
half as good as his book (which I've just finished reading) the brain 
fare should be worthwhile.
