Presenters
The concept for the show was
originally created by Professor
Matthew Holley who is our lead presenter. Matthew is Professor of Sensory Physiology
and Head of Biomedical Sciences at the
University of Sheffield.
He is an experienced and passionate science communicator and has given lectures to a wide variety of audiences including primary and secondary schools, art colleges, rotary clubs and round tables. He’s been an expert panelist at Café Scientifique debates and given talks for the ‘National Science Week Lectures for Schools’ programme including Sounds Interesting and The Bionic Ear. In 2004, he gave the David Allen- Booth Memorial Lecture during National Science Week and gave a talk called One Way Ticket to Silence at the 2003 BA Festival of Science.
When Matthew isn't available, the show relies on a small team of hearing researchers from labs around the UK who volunteer their time.
