Hot Scientist of the Week

Hot Scientist of the Week


This week's Hot Scientist is Niall McCann, a zoologist from Clifton in the UK.

Niall is what you might describe as the alpha male of science, having recently broken the world record for 1 million metres on an indoor rowing machine.  He also owns a small collection of seal baculi (penis bones) from his travels.

If you'd like to sponsor Niall's latest endeavour - a pan Atlantic rowing race - just click here.  The proceeds go towards Bristol Zoo's great ape projects.

Nominate someone, or even yourself, to be our Hot Scientist of the Week. Send a photo and brief description to contributions@null-hypothesis.co.uk.
