Arguably the UK's best known experimental physicist, Professor Brian Cox's books and TV programs have been read and watched around the world and credited with making science engaging and accessible to millions. With his down-to-earth, likeable enthusiasm, Brian is frequently labelled a 'rock star scientist', in part due to his time as a professional musician. He is the Professor of Particle Physics at Manchester University, The Royal Society Professor for Public Engagement in Science, and a key part of the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. Brian's TV shows include Wonders of the Universe, The Planets, Human Universe, and Forces of Nature. When not filming, Brian co-hosts BBC Radio 4's Infinite Monkey Cage and tours his live show in theatres and arenas around the world.
