DRAGANA MLADENOVIC: I’m a Roman archaeologist, so I look at how Romans interacted with peoples they conquered.
FILIPPO FAZI: Well, I work on sound, and I try to understand how sound is generated– how it propagates in an environment.
LIZ CLUETT: I research women’s experience of birth.
WILL JENNINGS: Looking at how voters - how the public evaluate the competence of political parties.
RUTH BARTLETT: I’ve researched mainly the lives of people who have dementia.
