Observer Ethical Awards judge
Professor Brian Cox began his career not as a physicist but as a rock star, when his band Dare signed a deal with A&M records in 1986. Dare recorded two albums and toured with Jimmy Page, Gary Moore and Europe before breaking up in 1992. Brian then joined the band D'Ream, whose song 'Things Can Only Get Better' was famously used by Tony Blair as the Labour Party election song in 1997.� During the D'Ream years, Brian obtained a first class honours degree in physics from the University of Manchester and a PhD in High Energy Particle Physics at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg.�
In 2010, Brian received an OBE for his services to Science. Brian was granted a Royal Society University Research Fellowship in 2005 and in 2009 became Professor of Particle Physics at the University of Manchester. He works at the CERN laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.
Brian has received many awards for his work in publicising science. In 2002, he was elected an International Fellow of the Explorers Club and in 2006, he received the prestigious British Association Lord Kelvin award for his work in promoting science to the public.�
Brian's talks have inspired many audiences around the globe, including at the Australian Science Festival, TED (USA 2008 & 2009), World Economic Forum (China 2008 & Davos 2009), Cisco Networkers (Barcelona 2009), Lotus Corporation (Florida 2010), The Canadian Nuclear Association, PIME and The Sharp Lecture, New York University, New York.
