“Lego has a lot to answer for,” says Peter James. “I've loved making connections - both within science, and between scientists and business, as a specialized journalist at the BBC and elsewhere, as an innovation focused academic at Bradford, Stirling, and Warwick, and as a consultant”. And now, his “odd” career path is helpful as it gives Peter insight into all the stakeholders - scientists, technical staff, estates and facilities, finance, procurement, and so on, who need to work well together to design and operate really good laboratories. “S-Lab is unique in creating knowledge and networks that bring them together to share experience and encourage improvement.”
