Back in 2020 I won the Zeeman Medal and it's finally time to have the award ceremony (along with 2022 winner Simon Singh). This is the UK's top prize for mathematics communication and I received it partly for my YouTube videos: which wouldn't be possible without you fine people supporting me. So it only seems fair you get to come to the party as well.

So if you fancy checking out the Royal Society and getting some free drinks, details are in the link below. The event goes from 6pm to 9pm and is free to attend if you email katherine.wright@lms.ac.uk and ask nicely.

Will be great to see some of you there!

"Title and Abstract to come." Classic. Also, congratulations! I would love to attend, but free drinks aren't free when they require a transatlantic flight to redeem.

Seth Arnold

Ah, but transatlantic flights come with free drinks, too!

Joost Smits

Congratulations! 🎂🥳🎉

Dan Oberste

So, off to the penny slots eh? 🤣

James Lister

If the good Katherine is willing to let me in, I’ll be there to cheer you on. Many thanks!

Louie Ruck

Very many congratulations Matt- it's very much deserved. Fingers crossed I get to attend!

James Bastone

Congratulations Matt. Wish I could come but NE Scotland is a bit of a distance and work would complain. Hope you have a great time!

Patrick W. Gilmore

I have not been to London in years. This seems like a perfectly fine excuse to go! Not sure if I can swing it, but would love to watch. Thank you for inviting us.

Derek Chandler

Matt Parker Title and abstract to come... Apart from "stand-up mathematician", whatever that is, we're also still waiting...

Evan

It's the inverse of a sit-down mathematician.

The Dean

Wish I could attend, but the walk from Canada is a bit too much for me to handle. Congratulations!

Tahg

I assume no portion of this event is going to be recorded? I'd have loved to see it, but can't attend in person.

Malcolm Jardine

Congrats! Unfortunately the 14 hour travel time means I wouldn't make it to work in the morning, otherwise I would totally be there

Mojken

Congratulations, and thank you for the offer! I'm legitimately considering flying in from Sweden to attend, it would be a very cool experience.

KF

Darn it, I have a trip to London in March - but don't get there till two days later on the Friday ☹️.

David Garrison

I realized that I'd be in london that day, but was too late to get in, and am sitting on the waiting list :(
