Henry Scowcroft
Henry spent four years at university studying biochemistry before realising that the laboratory life wasn’t for him, and going to work for a science journal instead.
From there, he went on to do a Masters in Science Communication and, after a brief flirtation with science journalism, he started working in the Science Information team at Cancer Research UK in 2003.
In January 2005, he helped launch the News & Resources website, and now helps run this site from his new position in the charity’s Internet & New Media department.
Kat Arney
Dr Kat Arney joined Cancer Research UK in 2004, after spending six years as a laboratory researcher.
In her role as a Science Information Officer, she translates science-speak into plain English, so that everyone can understand the charity’s work.
Kat loves talking about science, and regularly comments in the media on the latest discoveries as well as giving talks to staff and supporters.
She presents and produces the Cancer Research UK podcast, and also helps to present the highly successful Naked Scientists BBC Radio show in her spare time.
Ed Yong
Ed graduated from university with a degree in Natural Sciences and spent a few years doing scientific research in a Cancer Research UK laboratory.
He joined Cancer Research UK’s Health Information team in 2004, where he currently writes and manages the Healthy Living section of the News & Resources site.
He also monitors the latest cancer research, particularly on cancer prevention, to make sure that our information is based on the best possible scientific evidence.
Ed won the Daily Telegraph Science Writer Awards in 2007, after a couple of runner-up nods in previous years.
