Chris Elcombe, Science and EU Affairs Editor: Chris is a Scientific Officer, working in life sciences, performing contract research. His interest in science and politics comes from a will to know how the world works, and his refusal to make an uniformed decision. In his view, although at first the two seem unlinked, science and politics are filled with differing, and often contradicting, opinions based on the same data. Living in Europe provides many avenues for political intrigue. Chris believes that with 28 member countries and multiple chambers and institutions, the EU periodically becomes a political crucible. Housing many flavours of political parties, a variety of ideologies, and a plethora of personalities, the historic and present politics of Europe are as relevant to its citizens now as ever.With a BSc hons in Biotechnology from the University of Abertay Dundee, Chris also has a keen interest in extreme sports, renewable energies and music. Living and working in Scotland, UK, gives ample exposure to each. Chris’s biggest wish would be for everyone to participate to the fullest within their political system, and to never stop learning.
