Convinced there are many ways to engage scientists and the public in talking about science, two lecturers, a science communicator and a scientist turned filmmaker/writer teamed up to try to make a difference... this is the story of how the seed of an idea turned into a monster that is now having babies...

We are a group comprising a science communicator (Dr Michelle Lockwood), neuroscientist (Dr Stuart Allan), Experimental Psychologist(Dr Ellen Poliakoff) and neuroscientist turned filmmaker, writer and honorary fellow (Dr Erinma Ochu) at the University of Manchester. Ten years ago, Stuart was one of Erinma's undergraduate lecturers. Stuart hasn't aged and is as enthusiatic and Scottish as the day he arrived. Ellen and Erinma met when Erinma was a member of the University film production society, filming everything that moved or made a noise including the student union's 'battle of the bands'. One band member was violin-playing Ellen Poliakoff. She also still looks very young. Stuart and Ellen jointly run the undergraduate course, psychology and neuroscience. Before Erinma teamed up with Ellen and Stuart she worked with Michelle on sci-com projects. Michelle and Ellen are both from Nottingham.
