Rhian Salmon is my principal PhD supervisor. Her research seeks to inform the communication practice of scientists using knowledge taken from other disciplines – especially science communication, social psychology, and science and technology studies – so that best practice and theories, which have been developed in the social sciences, can be integrated into science engagement efforts and that these experiences can further inform the field and practice as a whole. She's an atmospheric chemist by background and spent seven years with the British Antarctic Survey.

Rhian (and Rebecca) are the reasons I took the PhD opportunity when it arose. Conversations with her are always illuminating, and usually humorous.
