Thomas Swift
About Me:
I live in South Leeds, but I grew up south of Birmingham. I’ve been running a research group in Polymer chemistry for 7 years now, working with brilliant people to solve big problems. I’ve always liked writing and talking – I used to run a radio show at University (heavy metal music for the masses) and write my own science fiction stories (I have a letter from the BBC from around 2002 saying they didn’t need a 12 year old to write any Dr Who stories). Now I write scientific papers and talk about them at conferences.

Sharon Madzorera
About Me:
Hi, I am Sharon. I spend most of my time with my three lovely kids, and my partner of 14 years. My days are filled with laughter, tickle fights and lots of story telling! I enjoy singing and listening to music, I find both so relaxing! Our family has just moved to the UK from Johannesburg, South Africa. So far, we are loving our new home in Saffron Walden. My favorite food has been mashed potatoes since I was five and mom made them for me whenever I was unwell. I’m not yet sure what my favorite color is, but I am fond of every shade of red.

About Me:
I am a scientist working in Johnson Matthey, Reading. I work Monday to Friday from around 9 to 4.30 in the office and the rest of the time I spend with my family.

Until my masters, I studied in India and then moved out of the country with my husband. I am Muslim, as you can see from (I belive you can guess) the profile picture with me wearing hijab. One year in Norway, 6-7 years in Denmark and finally settled in the UK. I did my PhD from Denmark.

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
A view of our 6 MeV linac
Close up on our cell handling system. Cells are irradiated and then robotically moved onto our microscope
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.
