BRASENOSE FELLOW INTERVIEWS — Brasenose College, Oxford

Through my work as a writer for Oxford Today, I’ve been working on a wonderful project for Brasenose College, Oxford – interviewing some of its distinguished fellows about their extraordinary work and careers. Along the way I’ve been privileged to learn about quantum computing, the philosophy of physics, the alien nature of Roman poetry, gene editing, the politics of conflict and much more.
