  • Rouzana Pulikkal Thumbayil

    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. I love Chemistry and teaching or tutoring, more than that I love inspiring or motivating others. I live with my husband and my two beautiful kids in Reading. I don’t have any other close relatives in the UK. Luckily I have many good friends around me.

    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.

  • Richard Caley

    About Me:

    I retired from the NHS after 40 years of service as a Clinical Scientist in neurosciences working in teams alongside Occupational Therapists, Speech and Language Therapists, Psychologists and Physiotherapists. I loved working within a hospital community providing expertise in all areas of the hospital and outlying community serving the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of society.

    I now write Court Reports for Clients, who have suffered catastrophic injury through no fault of their own and are seeking compensation in an attempt to restore their lives.

    I love playing classical piano, contemporary worship songs with other musicians and studying digital and natural media art.
