I am currently presenting a series on Resonance FM (104.4) on Wednesday evenings 19.30/20.00 BST. The series, entiteled 'The Gilded Vectors of Disease' examines the life and work of the staff and students of the school (past and present) through the carved gilded creatures on the first floor balcony. I took these as my inspiration as I was fascinated by the contradiction between how lovely they look with the sun shining on them and the realisation that these beautiful carvings represent the deadly adversaries that the school's population works so hard to overcome.
I enlisted the help of a variety of staff and students across many disciplines, working in London and around the world. Accompanying each segment of 'science' I've invited poets, writers and musicians to contribute and I feel each half hour programme is a pleasing mix of science, art, music, fact and - dare I say it, fun! We travel within the school building, the archive and library, and futher afield to include London landmarks including the Zoo, the Museum of London and the London Metropolitan Archive. We also work with Radio Health International in the Cameroon.
We have had good reviews in The Observer and The Metro - you can find all the information, episode breakdowns, previews and gallery images on the series website, at my production company. The School's website also carries podcasts of all episodes that have gone to air, and these will be available until the series ends final week of May.
