sameAs

This month, sameAs goes intergalactic, a satellite event* for the upcoming London Science Festival. Our theme for the month is "space" - from the wonders of the sun, to modern space medicine and "out-of-this-world" storytelling. We'll be hearing from a diverse set of folks as per usual, from astronomers to data gurus and artists, all set to share their fascination with what lies beyond and how it affects our day to day. You won't want to miss this.
