I’m a Scientist, Get me out of here! is back this November. Between the 5th and the 16th, students at 11 schools will be putting their questions to 5 scientists in the Crystallography Zone.

For the latest news and announcements about the event, find us on Twitter @imascientist, and follow the hashtag, #IASUK.

The Crystallography Zone is supported by STFC.

Meet the scientists

William Glass | PhD Student, University of Oxford

I use computers to simulate biological machines

Rebecca Roddan | PhD Student, Birkbeck College / UCL

I’m using proteins called enzymes to make drug molecules which can be used to treat different diseases

Callum McHugh | Lecturer, University of the West of Scotland

I use chemistry to improve our way of life by designing molecules that conduct electricity and detect explosives, and try to pass on this knowledge to students to help them become our scientific leaders of the future.

Alice Loasby | Research Associate, University of Bristol

I do lots of protein purifications, assays and crystal tray set ups.

Adam Berlie | ISIS Neutron and Muon Source

I fire particles into different materials to see what they do, how they work and answer fundamental questions about chemistry and physics.
