How bizarre. Science Magazine seems to be
advertising the Cambridge Science Festival
(which takes place this year from 12-25 March) on bus shelters in Cambridge. Even most
scientists don't bother reading Science (except for the odd article of direct relevance
to their own area of specialty), and certainly no ordinary member of the public would.
And the bus shelter in the photo is on north Histon Road near Hazelwood Close, in the
depths of Arbury, not normally considered to be one of the more academic (or salubrious)
areas of the city (although that is changing, because of the extortionate price of houses
in Cambridge). Unfortunately for the Science Festival, the crucial part of the ad is
largely hidden from view by a bin placed strategically by Cambridge City Council just
in front (unless you want to skewer yourself on a prickly hedge, just visible at the
right in the photo).
