Who’s taking part in the Astatine Zone?

Let’s meet the scientists and schools taking part…

The Scientists

Samantha Watson | Public Health England

I look at how to protect people and clean up after an accident involving radiation.

Ellie Paige | Postdoctoral, University of Cambridge

If you could see your future, would you want to change it? I’m a disease detective and I use information on millions of people to look for causes of future heart disease that we may be able to change early in life.

Darren Rhodes | Postdoctoral, University of Sussex

I am finding out how we can make robots predict the future – by learning how the human brain can perceive time.

Catherine Wigley | TDL Pathology

I work in a private blood transfusion laboratory providing blood products to six hospitals.

Andres Olivares | PhD Student, Durham University

I work trying to understand some tiny particles called neutrinos. These particles are so tiny that billions of them pass through you every second without you noticing anything!
