My Secret Life

I'm delighted to announce that I've joined the team  of guest bloggers who will be making regular contributions to the second series of the highly successful 'Secret Life of Scientists'.

Secret Life is part of the long-running and highly successful NOVA series which has run on PBS (Public Broadcasting Service) in the United States since 1974. Nova has picked up multiple Peabody and Emmy Awards for its work in bringing science to a broad audience in new and exciting ways. It is America's longest-running and most esteemed science programme.

Secret Life presents scientists, not only as brilliant researchers, but also as real human beings with a variety of outside interests. For example, the first series featured an astrophysicist who sailed around the world, a biochemist who participated in the Miss America pageant and an ethnobotanist who dances salsa in the Bronx.

The second series kicks off here with  an interview with Mollie Woodworth, a cheerleader who also happens to be a neuroscientist.
