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!
