DESCRIPTION:My research\, in the area of soft matter and biological physic
 s\, deals with the human-sized world and not the ultra-large or ultra-smal
 l: things that you eat\, wear\, utilise or that make up your own bodies an
 d the organisms around us. It mainly deals with aggregates of molecules in
  one way or another\, looking at the mesoscopic level. I will consider how
  this sort of matter can be observed in detail and what makes it special\,
  looking at examples from plants to paint\, from cells to food. Beyond thi
 s\, I will try to describe why I think science is such a creative discipli
 ne and why we need to do a better job of explaining what we do and how and
  why we do it\, not just to the public but also to policy-makers.
