Regular readers may be aware that I do a weekly roundup of the best science events called Talks of the Town. After helpful feedback, I’ve decided to ditch the column in favour of a daily blog post highlighting the next day’s best talks. I’ll also use these posts to flag up upcoming events that may need advance booking. So, for tomorrow’s picks…

Academic seminar

Rapid evolutionary turnover of transcription factor binding

Imperial College Clinical Research Building, 1pm, free

Duncan Odom from the University of Cambridge Cancer Centre heads to Imperial’s Du Cane Road site for this lunch time seminar.

Public lecture

Space Exploration: the next 50 years

The Royal Institution, 8pm, £9 (free to members)

You may remember the Open University’s Monica Grady from the 2003 Christmas Lectures. Tomorrow, she’s back in the refurbished lecture hall to speculate on the next half-century of space exploration. Note that these Friday Evening Discourses are formal events requiring smart dress.

Our calendar lists 15 scientific events for tomorrow.

Please feel free to comment on how I can make this daily post more useful.
