Author Information

"STEVE O'GRADY IS AN EX-PRISON officer who broke out of jail to study bio-sciences. Greenwich University took him in, and they harboured him safely for five years, nurturing and training him to become the best. They had to shout at him a lot too, because it was one pound a pint in the student union bar. But with their top scientific staff, they always tracked him down, and enticed him back into their state of the art laboratories, where they opened his eyes to the world deep within us all. Greenwich University turned a frazzled and war-torn screw into a Super-Scientist. This superhero repaid their efforts by winning the Oxford University Press Bioscience Award of 2008. Steve says, ""Trust me, if I can do it, anyone can do it - enrol now, although the pints do cost a lot more."""
