Rutherford & Fry

Book Shambles

Robin’s science book came out the same day last month as Adam Rutherford and Hannah’s Fry first book together, Rutherford & Fry’s Complete Guide to Absolutely Everything. The Cosmic Shambles Network is also looking after Robin’s 100 Bookshop Tour and working with JSM Events’ Rutherford and Fry tour so it just makes sense to bring it all together on an episode of Book Shambles. They chat about the heavy lifting of the word ‘abridged’ in the title, science education, the nature of curiosity, authors with difficult to pronounce names and Hannah’s decision to resign from the Science Museum.
