Technicians and Outreach: Cameron Wyatt

Our latest Technically Scotland episode features Cameron Wyatt, zebrafish technologist, facility manager, and academic lead for engagement at the University of Edinburgh. Cameron brings a brilliant mix of expertise, humour and creativity to public engagement — from tackling tricky conversations about animal research ethics to helping technicians recognise the value of their own contributions.

One of his standout messages is “Don’t talk down what you do”  
Technicians are experts, and their work is essential to Scotland’s research ecosystem. This episode dives into how technicians can get involved in outreach, build confidence, and make science more open, accessible and fun.

Cameron also shares a preview of his Edinburgh Fringe show, It All Went Wrong At Legs, where he blends science and comedy to celebrate zebrafish and the people who work with them
