Maggie Philbin
Bang鈥檚 newest recruit comes with plenty of previous. Maggie anchored the much loved Tomorrow鈥檚 World in the 1980s, and has stayed on the pulse of science and technology ever since.
In the last five years she鈥檚 reported for 91热爆 Breakfast, Inside Out and 91热爆 Webwise, as well as heading up the 91热爆鈥檚 Digital Switchover and writing for The Guardian.
Maggie鈥檚 work has been recognised by some prestigious organisations. In 2008 she created an interactive science and engineering event for teenagers which was awarded Best Engineering Event by the British Science Association in 2010.
At the WISE Awards in 2012 she won the Communication and Outreach category of Women of Outstanding Achievement. In the same year she received an Honorary Doctor of Technology degree from De Montfort University for "bringing a greater understanding of science and technology to the public鈥�.
It鈥檚 all experience that puts Maggie in a perfect position to join Liz and Jem in their quest to make sense of your world through science. And she鈥檚 as enthusiastic as ever.
"I鈥檓 so delighted to be back on 91热爆 One, bringing accessible science to a family audience once more. It鈥檚 what Bang does best. This year we're focusing on the stories we all care about, the ones where understanding more about the science can make a real difference to our lives."
