Dr Anita Shaw

Former Acting CEO, Techniquest

Anita's passion for communicating science started at college, when she worked at the science museum on what was to become Launch Pad. After that, she started a PhD in neuroscience and went on to do four years' postdoctoral research in medical genetics. The pull of those early years in the science museum was still strong so Anita studied for a Diploma in Science Communication before landing a job as a manager in Techniquest. She worked there for twenty years as part of an inspirational, forward-thinking and well-loved Welsh institution.
