Dad sold lab equipment so always had fascinating catalogues and occasional samples dotted round the house. Read Stephen Rose’s ‘Chemistry of Life’ at 16 and never wanted to do anything else. Got mediocre degree due to too much acting at UCL so did MSc in Crystallography at Birkbeck.

I had a fantastic life sciences teacher when I was in high school. She was the one who sparked my curiosity, my interest in biology, and my passion for learning and understanding.

Sound advice for everyone but especially scientists
What’s the most significant advice you received from a teacher?
I had a Geology prof who always said “have strong opinions, loosely held”
Be passionate, assess alternatives with conviction, take sides. But don’t fall so in love with your opinions that you can’t change them with better data.
