This month we chat to an insect specialist turned TV presenter, a prolific writer, an expert in brain imaging, a successful actor and a fundraiser for a children's charity. Evidence, if it were needed, of the wealth and breadth of talent in our alumni community. We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters. Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website. Dr Grace Lee, who has recently founded the University’s first Alumni Club in Vancouver, tells us how personal tragedy, respect for others, and a penchant for sheep have led her to a successful career in investigating brain imaging.
