Who Are We?

Catherine Hawkins

Catherine was one of the pioneers of our first forays into science broadcasting, back in 2000. She and Chris (Smith) were both PhD students in the same lab and, finding that their research wasn't keeping them sufficiently busy, they decided to write a grant application to the BBSRC, who funded Catherine, asking them to fund a radio show instead! Catherine left after the first series to pursue other interests including science writing and research into bacteriophage therapy. She now lives in Scotland (never mind) where she works in sales. We never knew that door to door could be so lucrative Catherine!
