Dr Mike Bullivant is a British organic photochemist known for his appearances on all six series of BBC's Rough Science, [1] which was nominated for a BAFTA in 2000. [2] Bullivant studied Chemistry at the University of Wales (Cardiff) and attained a PhD in organic photochemistry at the Universities of Cardiff and Nottingham. [3]

Bullivant also presented the BBC/Open University series The Chemistry of Almost Everything which, in 1996, was the first Open University series to be shown in a prime-time slot, rather than the usual overnight slots traditionally reserved for OU broadcasts. [4] [5]

Bullivant was awarded an honorary Master of the University degree by the Open University in 2007 for his “significant contribution to the education and culture of Milton Keynes” [6]

Bullivant contributed to Happy Birthday OU: 50 years of the Open University, a programme made by the BBC to commemorate the institution’s 50th birthday in 2019. [7]
