How much is Benedict worth? Elementary, my dear Watson!
The Royal Society of Chemistry asks “how much is Benedict worth?” at Cambridge Science Festival. As this year’s Cambridge Science Festival theme is health, the RSC team wanted to find a way for you to learn all about what you’re really made of. So, to celebrate the involvement of this year’s guest director Benedict Cumberbatch, as part of the festival’s big Science on Saturday, we’re asking “How much is Benedict worth?” And, you’ll be glad to know, the answer is elementary, my dear Watson.
So if you can think of all the elements that make up a human being and know how much they are worth well then have a guess on the , on Twitter @RSC_Comms or email to and try to win a t-shirt especially designed by artist Kerry Roper.
Head along to Science on Saturday and look out for a large-as-life version of one of our favourite actors, learn about the ingredients you’ll find in the human body and guess how much his elements are worth to win a very cool t-shirt.
Apart from swooning over Benedict, the Royal Society of Chemistry team is playing a full part in supporting the exciting programme for the Cambridge Science Festival 2013, which starts this week and goes on, slightly longer than a week, until 24 March.
There are loads of volunteers from the RSC taking part on the big day, so they’ll be asking you to get your hands dirty, don your goggles and come along to our ‘Chemistry for better health’ stand to get involved in some weird and wonderful experiments – and learn some chemistry whilst you are at it.
Other highlights around the festival in Science on Saturday include BBC presenter and author Simon Mayo talking about his excellent Itch books, a show and tell from comedian Robin Ince and modern alchemist Peter Wothers, recreating some of his explosive highlights from the RI Christmas Lectures.
