Kat Arney works as a science information officer for the charity Cancer Research UK in London, when she's not off playing the harp and the spoons. She completed her degree and PhD at Cambridge University, and did time in a lab next to Wormwood Scrubs prison before finally leaving research. Kat writes science articles for the Naked Scientists website and helps to present the Naked Scientists science Radio Show and podcast. She also presents and produces the Cancer Research UK podcast and writes for the charity’s Science Update blog. She also writes occasionally for online science magazine Lablit , plays in several bands, is a keen knitter, and apparently never sleeps! Read about her exploits on her aptly titled blog, "You Do Too Much.”
