Colin Murphy studied psychology at University College Dublin, where he learned how much he enjoyed science and different areas of popular science. He went on to study Cognitive Neuro-psychology at Oxford Brookes University. While in Oxford he enjoyed the constant flow of lectures available, but dismayed by lack of time to see them all. As a Psychology teacher at various colleges he enjoys his role in communicating science and inspiring others to learn more. The Pulse Project is a chance to learn and deliver high quality science to the public and learn in the process. He is a member of the British Science Association in Oxford. He is a director of Pulse {roject and has seen it develop from a struggling idea to a successful public resource.
Tudor Georgescu completed his PhD at Oxford Brookes University in 2009 on the emergence of eugenic and fascist movements amongst the Transylvanian Saxons, a German ethnic minority, in interwar Romania. The doctoral thesis sought to investigate how ethnic minorities interpreted the eugenic promise of a healthier, better, nation, and whether the Transylvanian Saxons produced and empowered an indigenous agenda of national regeneration. Tudor’s research interests lie with the social history of medicine generally, and with that of ethnic minorities in relation to fascism and eugenics in particular. Tudor is a Director of Pulse Project. See Profile.
