Johnny Ball has probably inspired more people to love science and maths than all your Brian Coxes, Stephen Hawkings and Richard Dawkinses combined.

Anyone over the age of about 30 has a special place in their heart for the TV presenter who showed, through his long-running BBC and ITV series in the 1980s, that science and maths needn’t be dull or difficult but are in fact the most exciting subjects you’re ever likely to encounter.

So, to celebrate Johnny’s special genius and the inspiration he’s provided, we’re encouraging everyone to get tweeting! And in case you need a bit of further encouragement,  we’re giving away a FREE COPY of Johnny’s new book to one person every day between now and Christmas out of those who tweet (or retweet) this:
