It's starting in an hour! Join us from 8pm for an hour of mathematical variety acts, including speculation, calculation and maybe some improvisation - head to clopenmicnight.com for the link to watch live, or catch the recording afterwards.
Not long to go now until the next Clopen Mic Night! Grab yourself a brew (of whatever kind you prefer) and watch our live online maths show from 8-9pm GMT on Thursday 1st May. More info at clopenmicnight.com
The remaining performer for the Clopen Mic Night: Power of Five (clopenmicnight.com) is Mats Vermeeren, who’s a research fellow and lecturer at Loughborough Uni, and will be asking, “What if everything in the universe started shrinking?” More info at clopenmicnight.com

Our next confirmed guest for Clopen Mic Night 5 is Yolanda Ohene, who likes doing research into neuroimaging, and going rollerskating (but not at the same time, as far as we know). More info at clopenmicnight.com

We’ll be joined for our fifth Clopen Mic Night by the Pseudorandom Ensemble, a mathematically-inspired musical combo who are experimenting with the form of online collaborative musical performances and exploring what it means to be normal. More info at clopenmicnight.com

Clopen is a rarely-used mathematical term for something that is simultaneously both open and closed. Clopen Mic Night is a chance to see a selection of mathematicians and performers entertain you with mathematical performances! Find out more at clopenmicnight.com
The compere for our 1st May event will be Sophie Maclean @sophiemacmaths, who’ll be keeping the other acts to time and filling in when tech fails. Sophie once climbed a mountain that’s about 2654 Sophies tall! More info (about the event, not mountains) at clopenmicnight.com
Among our performers for the fifth Clopen Mic Night (clopenmicnight.com) will be maths teacher Christopher James, who will describe how he used Excel to build a VSLM (Very Small Language Model). Find out more at clopenmicnight.com
