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.
