Science populariser, Fran Scott, leads the demonstration team as the Science Content Producer at the Royal Institution. There she plays a pivotal part in the world-famous Christmas Lectures.  She also runs her own stage production company, Great Scott! Productions.  Here she works with well-known brands including Google, Siemens and Raspberry Pi to deliver high-quality science communication.

She is also well known for her dynamic demonstrations on Dick and Dom’s CBBC show Absolute Genius. She presents a range of Science and Engineering television shows.  Fran also contributes to books and magazines and has won and been nominated for a number of prestigious accolades. She is three times BAFTA nominated, listed in The Progress 100: London’s most influential people and has been nominated for an International Emmy.

Fran is not only an advocate of an excellent end-product, but she also works hard on improving access and the visibility of under-represented groups, particularly women. Driven by the lack of positive female STEM based role-models on children’s TV, Fran set herself a goal to change that.  Fifteen years on, she has presented numerous series on Children’s BBC and consulted on many, many more.

Fran uses her experience to seek out and train the next female role models within the STEM fields.
