Dave Ansell worked as the Naked Scientists' Kitchen Science specialist until 2014. Prior to joining the Naked Scientists team he spent several years nominally as a post-grad physics student at Cambridge University but most of the time he went AWOL to plan and organise science events for kids with student society Cambridge Hands-On Science. Some time after the grant ran out he took a sideways jump into full-time-and-a-bit public understanding of science with the Naked Scientists. When not at work he... well, he mainly organises science outreach, actually, but sometimes he goes folk dancing too.
