Kathy Sykes

Kathy Sykes is a science communicator working on a variety of projects, including being a Director of the Cheltenham Festival of Science. Before that 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 first Rough Science project.
