One of our horn players moved away so that's good news for horn players who are still in London and looking for an orchestra! Details below. #musicians

Less than a week after launch, 'Hey, There's Science In This' has 4.5 stars on Goodreads! Read the reviews and then maybe get yourself a copy (and/or leave a review yourself?) goodreads.com/book/show/2091…

I went offline for the four-day weekend immediately after my book launch. Meanwhile, I'm pleased to see the first review up. Brian Clegg says 'I wish it was about twice the length' but it probably wouldn't have been done yet in that case! popsciencebooks.blogspot.com/2024/04/hey-th…

Review: Hey There's Science in This!: Eva Amsen Eva Amsen **** - Fun and surprising stories of where science crops up in unexpected places. Distinctly moreish: would have been even better at twice the length. popsciencebooks.blogspot.com/2024/04/hey-th… #bookreview #popularscience

Last but not least from March 28 is Eva Amsen's new book, Hey, There's Science in This: Essays About Science in Unexpected Places

Short clip from last night's hour-long book launch stream: What makes scary music scary? I talk about a concept from one of the chapters and use my violin to demonstrate. youtu.be/LYkOm6kTiH4?si…

Okay but if an editor *does* want to give me £200 to research cheese, you know where to find me.

One of the problems with freelance journalism (esp longreads & investigations) is that freelancers need to do 'pre-reporting' aka upfront, unpaid labour with no guarantee of a commission.
This is how to fix it: separate the reporting from the writing in the pitch process.🧵

It's officially launch day for 'Hey, There's Science In This'! You can now browse the first few chapters on the Kindle edition so you can have a little peek inside before buying. amzn.to/49e1bm0

Scary chords I played during the stream are not representative of the overal lovely sound of London Euphonia. I usually use the standard tuning for orchestra performances and not Saint Saens spooky Danse Macabre tuning :)

Today at 7PM UK time (3PM ET) I'm doing a YouTube Livestream for the launch of 'Hey, there's science in this'. Featuring short readings, some book/card signing, a tiny bit of violin (like 10 notes) to explain something from the book, awkwardness and more. youtube.com/watch?v=OJ37x-…

Thanks to everyone who made this video possible.

Two days left until the launch of my book with essays about finding #science in surprising places, and ONE day left until the pre-launch livestream! All the info is on my website, including where to get books. evaamsen.com/HTSIT

Just a few days left to order either a signed copy of HTSIT (UK only) or a signed postcard (global). This little shop will be closed after the livestream on Wednesday (but of course unsigned books will still be available after that). buymeacoffee.com/mixture/extras
