I'd like a list of UK universities that are on a ring road - by which I mean just off a main road that does not go directly to the centre of a city or town. It is for a thing.

How many researchers begin in a totally different career?

Quite a few!

In this episode of 101 Jobs, we meet Mac: a former Royal Marine, now an ocean operations expert at @pml.ac.uk🌊

We want to show the public that even if your career doesn’t begin in science, it can still lead you there.
