Hi everyone, welcome to this episode of No Such Things a Fish, which we recorded live at the Royal Institution in London, the venerable, venerable place where so many great scientists have been over the years, and now us.

Although there was a great scientist there with us, we had a guest, and that was

Professor Alice Roberts. Now, if you follow science in Britain, if you follow science

communication, if you follow science on TV, you'll know all about Alice Roberts, and she's

absolutely brilliant. We had such a good time doing the show with her, and she does have a new

book out, actually.

It's called Domination, and it is all about the fall of the Roman Empire and the growth of Christianity.

Absolutely brilliant book, as all of Alice's books are.

And if you want to learn more about her, then you can go to alice-roberts.com.

And everything about her will be there.

I should just quickly add that we do have a special secret members club called Club Fish,

where there's lots of extra stuff.

If you feel like you haven't got your fix of fish at the moment,

loads of extra stuff on tiers there,

there's an Excel version of this show and every show.

If you think that I do a terrible job editing the show and I need to be making it much, much longer than there is the place to go for that. But yeah, there's loads of stuff there. So go to patreon.com slash no such things of fish if you would like to join. But really hope you enjoy this. We had such a great time at the Royal Institution.

I can't tell you how exciting all us to be there.

I think it does come through in the show itself.

Anyway, happy new year fish, a weekly podcast.

This week coming to you live from the Royal Institution. My name is Dan Schreiber.

I am sitting here with Jane Tarkin, Andrew Hunter Murray, and Professor Alice Roberts.

And once again, we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days.
