Keynote speaker: Professor Liz Sockett
Dr Liz Sockett is Senior Lecturer in Genetics at Nottingham University. She investigates questions about genes, including how some ‘good’ bacteria swim after, chase and eat other bacteria. This research could lead the way to finding new cures for illnesses caused by bacteria. She also teaches students at the University. “I was inspired to be a scientist by a combination of things - a good biology teacher at school, visiting the Natural History Museum in London, David Attenborough and
going on archaeological digs with my parents!”
