Award winning broadcaster Trevor Dann is to present a new series for Cambridge 105 in which he interviews some of the university city’s brightest stars.
The first edition of Cambridge Minds will be broadcast this Saturday (March 21st) at 3pm. It features statistician Sir David John Spiegelhalter, OBE FRS and Master of Selwyn College Roger Mosey.
Trevor Dann said: “Cambridge is full of people giving great thoughts, not only in our two universities, but in publishing and media, in galleries, on the science park and in laboratories”.
Sir David, the Winton Professor of the Public Understanding of Risk in the Statistical Laboratory, University of Cambridge explains how he sees himself as a ‘performing statistician’.
Roger Mosey, the former editor of the Today programme and controller of Radio 5 Live, masterminded the BBC’s coverage of the London Olympics. Master of Selwyn College since 2013, Mosey calls for public service competition for the BBC.
