Rick Edwards RICK EDWARDS A writer and broadcaster who spans both the factual and entertainment worlds, Rick hosts BBC1’s smash daytime quiz !mpossible, now in its eighth series, and is a regular presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. He co-hosts award-winning podcast Science(ish) alongside Dr Michael Brooks, which delves into the science behind popular culture. The series proved such a hit that the duo were commissioned by Atlantic to write a book of the same name, Science(ish): The Peculiar Science Behind The Movies, which was published in October 2017 and named a Sunday Times Book Of The Year. Their second book Hollywood Wants To Kill Youwas published in Autumn 2019. 2021 saw Science(ish) come to TV screens as a show for BBC Three. Rick’s numerous presenting credits include: History’s archaeology show River Hunters, ITV2’s comedy roast Safeword, Fatberg Autopsy for Channel 4, BBC Three’s live current affairs debate show Free Speech, Channel 4’s Paralympic Breakfast Show and the YouTube show The Edge Of Science. Rick began his career on the standup circuit after graduating with a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University. He is passionate about politics and has been actively involved in campaigns to increase youth involvement and political participation. His first book, None Of The Above, was published in the run up to the 2015 General Election by Simon & Schuster. In it he describes the basics of the political process in the UK, gives an overview of the issues facing the country, and explains the power of your individual vote. As a writer his original film Burger Van Champion was commissioned as part of C4’s Coming Up strand in 2013 and was described by the Observer as ‘a remarkable debut’ and by Time Out as ‘funny, touching [and] superbly written’. Amongst Rick’s other interests are the environment (he is a regular on the Observer Ethical Awards judging panel), backgammon (he recently competed in an international tournament in Copenhagen), football (he is an ever-optimistic Liverpool fan) and cats (he has one called Tippi).

  • Judging Panel for 2021 Royal Society Science Book Prize Announced
    **For release Wednesday 21stJuly** JUDGING PANEL FOR 2021 ROYAL SOCIETY SCIENCE BOOK PRIZE ANNOUNCED “Science communication has always been very important, to entertain, inform and inspire. This has never been more relevant than this year.” – Professor Luke O’Neill #SciBooks The five-strong judging panel for this year’s Royal Society Science Book Prize, sponsored by Insight Investment, is revealed today, Wednesday 21st July 2021. The Prize – which celebrates the very best in popular science writing from around the world – will be chaired in 2021 by world-leading immunologist, presenter and writer, Professor Luke O’Neill FRS. He is joined on the panel by representatives from across the worlds of science and culture: television presenter, Ortis Deley; mathematician and Dorothy Hodgkin Royal Society Fellow, Dr Anastasia Kisil; author and creative writing lecturer, Christy Lefteri, and journalist, writer and film maker, Clive Myrie. For 33 years, the Prize has promoted the accessibility and joy of popular science writing. It has celebrated some truly game-changing reads: books that offer fresh insights on the things that affect the lives we lead and the decisions we make, from neurodiverse perspectives on everyday living (Explaining Humans by Dr Camilla Pang, 2020) to gender bias (Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez, 2019) and the harms humans are wreaking on the planet (Adventures in the Anthropocene by Gaia Vince, 2015, and Six Degrees by Mark Lynas, 2008). In 2021, the judges renew their search for the most compelling science writing of the last year, at a time when the power of effective science communication is valued more highly than ever before.
