A household name thanks to popular TV series that include The Human Body, which won three British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA), Superhuman, Walking with Cavemen, and The Human Mind, Lord Winston's pioneering work in the field of human fertility helped thousands of childless couples have "miracle babies" and earned him an outstanding international reputation. A winner of the Royal Society's prestigious Michael Faraday Gold Award, he was made a life peer in 1995. He is Emeritus Professor of Fertility Studies at Imperial College London, and an active researcher in reproductive physiology. A champion of science education who has appeared on television, such as The Late Late Show With James Corden, Professor Winston's DK books for children include That's Life, Science Experiments, and My Amazing Body Machine.

Home Lab is a good example of science not just being a theoretical
study, but it's actually for kids to get their hands stuck in, ask
questions and find out what's going on. There are wonderful
experiments in this which I've done with the school children I work
with and they've really enjoyed them. I think it's very important
to show that science isn't just done in a laboratory, it isn't just
studied at university - actually you can do it yourself with simple
materials. The book has very easy to follow instructions, even for
somebody like me, even I can do them. It's interactive and I think
it's important to have that element in the shortlist.
