Kathy has just become the Professor of Public Understanding of Science at Bristol University (the Collier Chair). She is also a Director of the new Cheltenham Festival of Science. Previously, she was Head of Science for Explore@Bristol, a new 'hands-on' science centre, coming up with ideas for the content of the centre. Kathy is a physicist, with a PhD (looking into a biodegradable plastic) from Bristol University and is still doing some post-doc research there. She did her first degree there too - then went to teach Maths and Physics A-level in Zimbabwe for 3 years with VSO.
This is Kathy's second Rough Science project. To see how Kathy got along in her Rough Science challenges, read her scientist diaries:
