Presentation Genius

I started life as a researcher at a university. My PhD looked at things in the environment which might be causing children to get leukaemia. To be honest, it was more to do with ‘very hard statistics’ that medicine. We made some good progress in understanding how to prevent leukaemia. I then spent over 24 years as a professional researcher at universities.

I also worked as an actor, lighting designer and a few other things as well as being a fire-eater! Along the way I got interested in how things were explained, when we had to try and get the basics of, say, 18 months of research into the head of politicians and policy-makers who hadn’t been involved in the research. Sometimes in the back of a taxi. Sometimes in a report. But always in clear, non-technical ways… but ways which allowed for no mis-understanding.
