The Science Fight Club smashes up the Natural History Museum

You don't normally associate science with fighting, unless you include the pseudo-bickering of Koothrappoli and Wolowitz (The Big Bang Theory), but The Science Fight Club at the Natural History Museum is about to change all that. Maybe forever. Aaahhh!

The Science Fight Club kicks off after school on Friday the 28th January between 19:00 and 20:30 in the restaurant and pits whoever's brave enough to show their lying, rotten, no-good keester against each other in a science debate to end all science debates (although I think they'd like to have more, so maybe that should be the science debate to possibly spark other science debates at some point in the not too distant future).

The first event will be dominated by questions chosen by the audience. Then the audience will be able to choose a side on the debate and get ready dook it out. The winner of the debate will inevitably be chosen by the audience also (hopefully, it'll literally be a battle royal to the death).

Tickets are £8 available from the Natural History Museum website (http://www.nhm.ac.uk/visit-us/whats-on/events/programs/naturelive/the_science_fight_club.html), along with a few ideas for the questions. However, hopefully the questions not he night will be a bit more inspiring. I'm not entirely sure that "Should we eat meat?" is a science related question. If I had my way, I'd make the debate, "When will hover boards be invented? The next decade or the next century?".
