Dr Paul Elliott is Director of Studies in Biology and Scientific Admissions Tutor at Homerton College, Cambridge, and a Bye-Fellow at Selwyn College, Cambridge. His research focuses on the biology and control of aquatic pest species such as the notorious zebra mussel. Paul is also an interviewer for students wanting to take the Natural Sciences course at the University of Cambridge and supervises on the first year “Evolution and Behaviour” course. Paul has also developed a number of interactive “scientific adventures” for use in school outreach.
