Hannah Devlin is an author in London and science correspondent for The Guardian .
Devlin attended St Bede's College, Manchester, where she studied A-Levels in Maths, Physics, French and General Studies. [2] She completed an undergraduate degree in physics at Imperial College London in 2004 [2] She has a Doctor of Philosophy degree in functional magnetic resonance imaging from the University of Oxford for research supervised by Peter Jezzard. [1] [3] [4] In 2006, whilst Devlin was a DPhil student, she worked for The Times on a British Science Association Media Fellowship. [5] She began her career as a journalist whilst completing her postgraduate studies. [6] [7] She was a finalist for the Young Science Writers award. [8]
Devlin worked for Research Fortnight for a year, before getting a permanent job at The Times in 2009. [2] [9] [10]
In 2015, Devlin was appointed to The Guardian. [11] She works as the science correspondent for The Guardian, [12] as well as presenting their podcast Science Weekly. [13] [14] [15] Devlin has also written for the journal Science . [16] In 2017 she gave a keynote talk at the Human Tissue Association's annual conference. [17] She has been shortlisted for the 2017 The Press Awards Science Journalist of the Year.
Devlin is an advocate for women in science. [18] In 2011 she chaired a debate with Athene Donald, Ottoline Leyser and Keith Laws called Women of science, do you know your place?. [19] [20] She has contributed opinion pieces such as Why don't women win Nobel science prizes? [21] and Why are there so few women in tech? The truth behind the Google memo. [22]

John Radcliffe Hospital is a large tertiary teaching hospital in Oxford, England. It forms part of Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and is named after John Radcliffe, an 18th-century physician and Oxford University graduate, who endowed the Radcliffe Infirmary, the main hospital for Oxford from 1770 until 2007.
Peter John Hore is a British chemist and academic. He is a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford and fellow of Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He is the author of two Oxford Chemistry Primers on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and research articles primarily in the area of NMR, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), spin chemistry and magnetoreception during bird migration.
Brebis Bleaney was a British physicist. His main area of research was the use of microwave techniques to study the magnetic properties of solids. He was head of the Clarendon Laboratory at the University of Oxford from 1957 to 1977. In 1992, Bleaney received the International Zavoisky Award "for his contribution to the theory and practice of electron paramagnetic resonance of transition ions in crystals."
The Centre for Quantum Computation (CQC) is an alliance of quantum information research groups at the University of Oxford. It was founded by Artur Ekert in 1998.
The various academic faculties, departments, and institutes of the University of Oxford are organised into four divisions, each with its own Head and elected board. They are the Humanities Division; the Social Sciences Division; the Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences Division; and the Medical Sciences Division.
