Liam Herringshaw
About Me:
I am a palaeontologist – fossil-scientist – who mostly studies the evolution of life on the seabed. As such, I know very little about dinosaurs. Most of my research has investigated how burrowing animals such as worms, molluscs, and crustaceans live in and on the seafloor, and how this has changed over time.
I live in York, and organize the Yorkshire Fossil Festival, as well as running rocks and fossils classes for schools, museums, and community groups. I am also a writer, a cricketer, and a Dad, although not necessarily in that order.
The photograph below is me explaining how the rocks were formed at Filey Brigg, on the North Yorkshire coast:

Iain Tullis
About Me:
I make scientific instruments for cancer research.
I’ve worked on the mechanics, electronics and optics for multiphoton and fluorescence lifetime microscopes and on the reworking of a radiotherapy linac for cancer research.
I’m involved in research into a better way to deliver radiotherapy and I’m also involved in a study that uses a fluorescent marker, a bespoke imaging system and a robotic system for prostate surgery.
Some of our instruments end up in the operating theatre. Here I am with one of the surgeons

My research involves taking things apart — and then reusing the parts as well as designing new parts to make something that someday will help cure cancer.
