Biography
Richard Wingate is a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. His research addresses how the identity of neurons and their ultimate location in the brain are genetically specified in development and evolution. Richard has a commitment to public communication in science through schools outreach, public speaking, writing and broadcast media and has served on Wellcome Trust Awards panels. He has had a number of successful collaborations with artists and has curated two exhibitions for the King’s Cultural Institute. In 2012, he acted as the scientific advisor for the Wellcome Collection’s “Brains: Mind as Material” exhibition in London and Manchester, and co-authored the accompanying book. He is Editor-in-Chief of Brain Facts.
