Kevin O'Dell is Professor of Behavioural Genetcis and his teaching excellence has been recognised through a number of awards including, in 2012, the 'Best Teacher in the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences' at Glasgow University. He is closely involved in curriculum development and public engagement in science, with grants from the Wellcome Trust to set up the 'Zombie Science Project' - aimed at getting young people enthused about science.
"This is an utterly amazing workbook...it's surprising how much you want to find out when it's a question of mutated genes causing zombie behaviour...This would certainly be excellent for anyone contemplating a degree in genetics as well as those studying it already" 5 Star Amazon review May 2017
