On today's episode I'm geeking out with Professor Elaine Cloutman-Green and talk about her upcoming book 'Don't Open the Door: Infections in Film'. She discusses why her love for film and popular culture and being a scientist prompted her to start the book. Elaine also shares why she became a microbiologist, mental health & wellbeing, the joys of having a good cup of tea, and she shares the quote the continually inspires her.
Professor Elaine Cloutman-Green is a Clinical Academic, holding roles both as a Consultant Clinical Scientist within the NHS, and an Honorary Professorship with UCL. For over two decades she has worked clinically, and undertaken research, on how to diagnose and prevent infectious disease.
Beyond her clinical and academic roles, Elaine is a passionate science communicator and public engagement advocate. She is the creator of the popular "Girlymicrobiologist" blog and has even produced an award-winning play, "Nosocomial", to highlight antimicrobial resistance and the often-unseen work of Healthcare Scientists. Outside of work, she loves movies, games, and adores a nice pot of tea.
*Editor's note: The correct name of the film is 'Pontypool', not 'Pontyville'.
