Helen’s love of science and the oceans was demonstrated by her choice of undergraduate and graduate degrees while at St. John’s. Her love of diving and divemaster status led her to pursue projects on reef fish, marine biology, and conservation; her PhD thesis on live reef fish trade in Malaysia then gave her a taster of science communication. She helped set up a science show on Cambridge University Radio, and went on to present on Radio 4 and the BBC’s The Naked Scientists show.
Having written science articles for Varsity, Helen went on to write for Geographical magazine and National Geographic, and has just been signed by Penguin books in the USA, to write her first book, a creative non-fiction about seahorses.

As if the acadmic, scientific, and literary talents weren’t enough, Helen also paints marine life in various media, and is now diving into the world of underwater photography.

Dan co-founded the band Emunah with Darren Turze in 2003, and they have been getting bigger and better every year. The band won Cambridge SCA’s Battle of the Bands in 2005, and are progressing from UK gigs and festivals to the international scene. Dan is the lead MC, writing the lyrics for the world/drum’n'bass/hip-hop band’s songs.
In 2006, he set up PsychoSemitic, a series of club nights bringing people together to enjoy world bands, DJs, live art and dancing.

Sarah has found success in the Cambridge Acoustic scene, having polished her singing at Jesus College’s Acousto evenings, run by Reuben Bard-Rosenberg, who plays guitar with her. Reuben and Sarah have performed at countless acoustic nights and May Balls, as well as further afield. They’re planning a visit to a recording studio, so come back later to hear more of their songs. Sarah’s pure voice isn’t her only talent – she has written her own songs, and taught herself the guitar to perform them herself, or accompanying Reuben. And to top it all, she has the looks and style of a model – no wonder she’s looking to take her top class degree to London’s advertising and ideas agencies.

During Megan’s degree, she has acted in, directed, choreographed and danced in so many productions that you may be forgiven for thinking that she actually lives in the ADC. Though she will in fact be working at the ADC as the marketing director now that she’s graduated. Tremendously bubbly and confident, she’ll achieve anything she sets her mind to, with her talent, looks and experience.

When I was first told that Zoe sang quite well, I wasn’t prepared for the aural sensation that she delivered. The pure tone of her voice is unexpected but absolutely mesmerising; she also writes her own songs and performs them herself. Zoe could often be found performing at Jesus College’s Acousto, or exploiting the wonderful acoustics of the spiral staircase by her room in Caius.

She’s recently turned her talents to photography, and has already proven herself to have an eye for composition, and an interest in a wide range of genres, including sport, portraits, and performances.

One can only presume that her international career will provide her with ample photographic and musical opportunities.
