Rupert Sheldrake’s: The Shoreditch Experiment

The Shoreditch Experiment, London

June 9 and July 7

As part of my research on telephone telepathy, I am running two days of testing events as a joint project with Graham Nicholls, an installation artist who has worked at the Science Museum. We are looking for a few people to take part in these tests as subjects. The tests are happening at Shoreditch Town Hall (near Old Street Underground Station) on Tuesday June 9 and Tuesday July 7 during the daytime. Each person would be needed for about one hour, for which he or she would receive £20 plus £10 travel expenses (in cash straight after the test). Currently we have about 4 vacancies for June 9, and 6 for July 7.

What we need are people who think of themselves a quite intuitive, and who fairly often have the experience of knowing who’s calling before they answer the phone or look at the caller ID display. To take part in the test, they will each need to have three contacts, close friends or family members, who are free to take part on their mobile phones. The contacts can be anywhere in the UK, but need to be available to make a call to the subject if and when requested to do so by text message.

If you might be interested I would be very grateful. Please email me direct, with some details about yourself, and also stating whether you could take part on June 9, or July 7, or either, and whether you would prefer to come in the morning or afternoon. I will then send more details. If any of your friends or family members in the London area, might be inetersted, please pass on this information to them.

If there are any problems, please feel free to message me back and I’ll try and answer questions but you are best advised to email Dr Sheldrake directly for further details.

    Science Online London – August 2009..for a tenner?

    Last year’s Blogging event was pretty amazing – by all standards. I heartily recommend signing up to this year’s event. We’ll be there.

    Building on the success of last year’s Science Blogging 2009: London conference, we’d like to announce that Science Online London 2009 will take place on Saturday August 22, 2009 at the Royal Institution of Great Britain in London. We hope that you can attend.

    We decided to change the name of the conference this year to reflect the wide range of science-related activities occurring online today. This year’s programme will include sessions on blogging and microblogging, online communities, open access, new teaching and research tools, author identifiers, etc.

    Registration will soon open on the conference website: http://www.scienceonlinelondon.org. You can now sign up to receive email alerts on the site.

    There will probably be a registration fee to cover the costs. Exact amount tbc, but likely to be in the range of £10.

    Suggest sessions/topics

    We need your ideas for sessions and speakers: panel discussions, keynote speakers, demos, etc. Volunteer yourself as a speaker or suggest others you’d like to hear from. Please post your ideas to the conference’s Nature Network forum, Friendfeed group, or email them to topics@scienceonlinelondon.org.

    Sponsors

    We need sponsors! If you or your organization would like to be a sponsor, please email sponsor@scienceonlinelondon.org. You can also suggest organisations you think we should approach.

    Hosts

    The event is co-hosted by Nature Network (Nature Publishing Group), Mendeley and the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

    Start the networking and spread the word!

    You’ll find groups for the conference on Nature Network, Twitter (tag: #soloconf_09) and Friendfeed.
