Margaret Clotworthy
Dr Clotworthy was accepted as a PhD student at the renowned Medical Research Council Lab of Molecular Biology at Cambridge, where she met many remarkable scientists whilst investigating the role of membrane cycling in cell movement, using a microscopic slime mould found in the soil, Dictyostelium discoideum. Shortly after graduating she did some voluntary conservation work in South East Asia, and when the time came to look for work she remembered meeting Kathy Archibald of Safer Medicines Campaign at a conference during her PhD and got in touch.

Summary
Françoise Reiss is emeritus research director at the CNRS and an internationally recognised figure in the field of bacterial photosynthesis.
Françoise Reiss is emeritus research director at the CNRS and an internationally recognised figure in the field of bacterial photosynthesis.
Having produced more than 150 published papers, she conclusively demonstrated how the photosynthetic apparatus could convert the energy derived from light into chemical energy, so vital for the cell. She was a pioneer in documenting the actual structures involved in the process — a supreme technical achievement of itself — as well as a decisive breakthrough in understanding photosynthesis.
