In this episode we cover Alex’s background, from finding jobs on Gumtree to becoming a computational biochemist, via working at the BBC. We discuss how learning about science media led him to become a creator - first establishing ‘Minorities in STEM’, a network for ethnic minority people in the STEM community, and ‘Why Aren’t You A Doctor Yet?’, a podcast covering science, technology and pop culture.
