Title: Mysteries and Conundrums
Speaker: Andy Smith

Has science and technology got it all worked out or are there aspects of our human existence and experience about which boffins and psychologists are still pretty clueless? Why do some beetles seem to have an integral satnav system? Why do we fall in love and then out of it again? Could you be swallowed by a whale and survive? Andy both offers a tentative response to such questions in this poetic presentation and comes to very few definite conclusions.

Andy Smith is an author and former business communicator who has two artificial limbs, a wonderful wife, three fine children and a whippet. He also had a couple of feisty chickens until Basic Brush made their acquaintance. The bionic bard entertains, motivates and gently challenges his audiences with original poetry, humour and the occasional smattering of history.
