DESCRIPTION:This entertaining lecture will introduce some surprising facts
  about food and flavour. There will be a chance to do some *tasting experi
 ments*. \n\nDr Len Fisher is well known for his efforts to make science ac
 cessible to a wider audience. He spends much of his time delivering talks 
 (from school audiences to the passengers on the QE2)\, making radio broadc
 asts \nwith the occasional foray into television. He also writies newspape
 r articles and books (e.g. *How to Dunk a Doughnut* and *Weighing the Soul
 *). His writing is designed to show how scientists think about the problem
 s of everyday life\, and how this may be harnessed to make significant sci
 entific advances. \n\nHe received the *Ig Nobel Prize for Physics* in 1999
  for his study of the science of dunking.\n\nHe has worked with leading ch
 efs\, e.g. *Heston Blumenthal*\, in applying science to the development of
  new dishes. \n\nOpen to non-members. Free admission. Suitable for A-level
  students. \n\nNotes: No tickets - so come early to get a good seat. Doors
  open at 18:30. \n\nEvent Location: Todd-Hamied Room\, Department of Chemi
