Got that friday feeling? excellent now watch this!

Restoring The Archimedes Palimpsest by Will Noel

Why we like it?

Claire says: this is brilliant, he loves the subject, as do I, digital image processing of manuscripts is amazing and he presents the process really well. He manages to fit ten years work into 5 minutes! Engaging the viewer in a world of mathematics, conservation and academia with ease, making it palatable and most importantly really interesting and exciting.  (beware there is some swearing in the first 20seconds)

Are you thinking “Pah! I can do that”
Got something interesting to share?
20 slides in 5minutes
Enlighten us, but make it quick.
What do you want to tell people in 5 minutes?
We’re going to be calling for speakers for Ignite London #3 soon…
