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.

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:
