The ShowPhysics 2012 conference is being held in Bergen, Norway on 16-21 April this year. The event, being organised by EuroPhysicsFun, will include both lectures and workshops, and aims to bring together parties interested in, or presently performing, physics shows.
Invited speakers include French television personality, Michel Chevalet, who will be discussing the relationship between physics shows and scientific journalists; Jérome Damet, of the Radiophysics Institute in Lausanne, who will talk on the use of radioactive material in shows; and representatives from the Norwegian Red Cross, who will discuss in-show safety.
