Katherine Bridge

I had a great conversation with Katherine about her life, her enthusiasm for science and her time in a band with Marcus Mumford! Fortunately, there was nobody booked in after us so it was a long chat. Katherine's profile: https://www.york.ac.uk/biology/people/katherine-bridge/ Information on Katherine's recently formed company can be found here: https://www.antigonie.bio/ (funders welcome!!) This episode also has me wondering if I sound like Michael McIntyre. Hmmm....
