Andy Stanton, author of the popular Mr. Gum series, which includes the new Mr Gum In The Hound Of Lamonic Bibber Bumper Book, will be at the Southbank Centre on Saturday (7/7/2012) for what the Guardian has billed as ‘a side-stitchingly funny…

…show.’

The author of the Never Say No to a Princess!, Tracey Corderoy, has also been recommended by the Guardian, who note that the  ‘much-loved picture-book author will present an afternoon of fun, crafts and storytelling’ on 28/07/2012 at Waterstones, Market Harborough.

Both authors’ events are recommended in the Guardian’s ‘Things to do this summer’. Click here to read the article in full.

A deep dive into how our precious health data is slipping away and the paths to reclaiming it.

Through wearables, consumer DNA tests, and even just the phones in our pockets, a vast and growing quantity of health data is collected every day. While this can be helpful for health agencies to improve public health and to us to perform better at sports, it all comes at a cost.

In a world of increased surveillance, tech companies and cybercriminals have the ability to acquire our most precious data and put profit above all else. This risks not only our privacy, but perhaps even democracy itself.

Tech journalist Matt Evans shows us why our precious health data is slipping away, how the data is used, and how we might reap the benefits without paying such huge costs. Featuring exclusive interviews with tech CEOs, lawyers and even reformed hackers, this is a deep-dive into the value of our health data and a manifesto for a new age of personal autonomy.
