Meet A Winner!

Meet A Winner!

By Dave Hall

Last year Dr Jonathan Wood beat off thousands of entrants to win FameLab 2006, a competition to find the next voice of science. The Null caught up with him as he prepares to go back to Cheltenham Science Festival, the home of FameLab, this June.


What are you going to be doing at the science festival this year?

It should be great fun. Last year I was in the FameLab competition but managed to catch a few of the other acts.

This year, I’m looking forward to seeing more events without having to worry about winning anything! I’m doing a couple of presentations, one by myself and one with some of last year’s FameLab entrants called “The Science of Super Heroes” – it should be very enjoyable!

When you won FameLab you talked about spiders’ webs. Can they really be that interesting?
