Science communicator Dr Kathryn Harkup ensured all cocktails were ‘shaken not stirred’ as she revealed James Bond’s secrets at Aberdeen’s Granite Noir.
A staple at the crime-writing festival, Dr Harkup’s event is always a hit with Aberdeen fans of noir. This year, the talented author spoke about the 007’s exploits and tactics and downfalls of his foes.
She talked about everything from the practicalities of building a volcano-based lair to whether you should use bacteria, bombs or poison if you hope to take over the world…
