Verity Allan is a graduate of Cambridge, Oxford, and The Open University. She is a PhD candidate at the Cavendish Laboratory and works as a project manager and programmer on the software for the Square Kilometre Array, the world's largest radio telescope.

Dr Cora Uhlemann is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, where she studies the cosmic web: the 'skeleton' of matter in our Universe. Here, she talks about the Big Bang, spending time with Nobel Laureates, and presenting her research in a dirndl. 

Victoria Honour is a PhD candidate in the Department of Earth Sciences, who studies magma and emulsions. Emulsions are generally studied for making things like mayonnaise, ice cream, moisturiser or in the petroleum industry for petrol or diesel. But Victoria looks at them to see how molten rock (magma) solidifies when it’s trapped beneath the Earth’s surface. Here, she tells us about her research, camping in Greenland and volcanic eruptions.
