Viviene Dela Cruz
About Me:
Lasers in space–this is my current work!
Hiya, my name is Viviene and I used to work with big, powerful lasers, and automation but now I focus on lasers for space (internet in space maybe?) and sometimes work on lasers that could be used for healthcare. I’m a small girl who likes plants and double cream Oreos. I spend time reading and watching science-related stuff and when I’m not, I’m usually spending time with family and friends.

Jo Brodie
About Me:
I’ve always liked finding out about stuff and then telling other people about it and was de-lighted to find that I could be paid to do this! I’m a big fan of bunting and electricity pylons but haven’t found a safe way to combine them yet. I love walking around London, where I live, and can’t wait to do it again safely. I like to try and make any community I’m a mem-ber of a little bit happier and friendlier 🙂

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

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.
