Making his feature directorial debut, filmmaker Allen Wolf has crafted "In My Sleep" into a taut psychological thriller with a poignant human drama at its core.

The story begins when Marcus wakes up in the middle of a cemetery half naked and has no idea how he got there. Urgent questions pound inside his head. "Where was I last night? Who was I with?" Marcus suffers from parasomnia, a rare sleep disorder which causes him to do things in his sleep which he cannot remember the next day.

The American Chemical Society's Spring 2010 National Meeting and Exposition includes numerous research findings in the field of cold fusion, also known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions (LENR). Here is the video of the live press conference that gives a broad introduction to the people involved and their views on this controversial part of science.

BIL is a fringe unconference that grew out of people trying to gatecrash TED conferences. BIL UK 2010 is scheduled to be held at Oxford on the weekend after TED, thereby giving some people the opportunity to sneak into TED Global anyway. There are also BIL conferences scheduled in the US for 2010.

How much science will there be? Judging by the videos on the BIL website, quite a lot, but as always it will depend on you, the organisers and whoever else turns up. "BIL is an ad-hoc conference for people changing the world in big ways. It's a place for passionate people to come together to energize, brainstorm, and take action." BILLIANT!

ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Starting in late 2009/2010, the ATLAS detector will search for new discoveries in the head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy. ATLAS will learn about the basic forces that have shaped our Universe since the beginning of time and that will determine its fate. Among the possible unknowns are the origin of mass, extra dimensions of space, unification of fundamental forces, and evidence
for dark matter candidates in the Universe.

One thing that scientists and politicians have in common is the need to beg: the former beg for funds while the latter beg for votes. Britain will soon have an election so this is the time for the politicians to beg to both scientists and non-scientists. So what's their pitch?
