About this person
Born 19 May 1973, Roberts trained as an anatomist and archaeologist before discovering she could do something most scholars can't: make deep time compelling on screen. By 2012 she'd landed a professor post at the University of Birmingham built around public engagement in science, a title that basically described what she was already doing. She served as president of Humanists UK from January 2019 to May 2022, steering one of Britain's largest non-religious organizations through pandemic and culture war, then stepped back to vice-president. The through-line has always been the same - taking what's technically rigorous and making it land with people who aren't in the lab.
