Nora Vyas
About Me:
I am an Associate Professor in psychology and chartered psychologist. I am passionate about talking about mental health and influence of meditation on wellbeing. I am interested in what areas of the brain ‘light up’ when completing memory/attention tasks? Why is sleep important for wellness? What is the impact of mental health on an individual and how does it differ from physical conditions? How can we end mental health stigma? Can meditation improve wellbeing? I lead the instagram page @mentalhealth_connect. I enjoy photography, keeping fit, and travelling!

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:
