Meet the Moderators

These super moderators take care of the event – they plan the topics, write the copy, send the emails, find the scientists, moderate all the questions, run the live chats, start the conversations and make sure everyone is happy. If you have a question you can email Annie at annie@mangorol.la

I'm a Scientist Learning Zone Moderator

Annie Brookman-Byrne (modannie)

PhD student,

“I currently research the cognitive and neural underpinnings of science and maths reasoning in adolescence. In particular I’m investigating misconceptions in these subjects and the different cognitive skills that might enable effective reasoning about counterintuitive science and maths concepts.”

Su Morris (modsu)

PhD student,
UCL-Institute of Education, funded by a Bloomsbury Colleges studentship

“I used to be a primary school teacher, so I am very interested in finding out more about maths and science learning in children. My studies focus on exploring relationships between maths and science achievement, and global and local processing.”
