Ian’s talks have been described as ‘highly engaging and informative’ ‘One of the best speakers we’ve ever had’. He has been invited back on many occasions. Ian is the retired Headmaster of a large comprehensive school and now gives highly illustrated talks which have been extremely well received . He has degrees from several universities and has developed a number of highly illustrated talks with a biological/medical theme. Talks include The man who caught a million criminals - Alec Jefferys and the invention of DNA fingerprinting. Great women scientists The conquest of diabetes - the discovery of insulin The history of vaccines - Edward Jenner to the Covid mRNA vaccines. The rise of the superbugs- antibiotic resistance. The history of genetics - the race to the double helix’. I have given 75 of these talks to Rotary Clubs, Probus Clubs, U3A and WI groups and other societies - with uniformly excellent feedback. I have been included on the Speaker list of West Sussex Women’s Institutes, following and audition. Talks can be anything between 30 and 60 minutes, according to your preference.
