Author Information

Dr. John S. Tregoning is a scientist and researcher whose work focuses on how viruses and bacteria infect the lungs. He has published over sixty academic papers, has a regular column in Nature, has written articles for Times Higher Education and Science, and has been interviewed by outlets including the BBC and Sunday Telegraph. He is currently on faculty at Imperial College London, where he also runs a research group on infectious diseases. Mike Cooper is a British voice talent who left big-city life in London for a log cabin in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. Mike is recognizable from his years with the BBC World Service, and as the narrator of countless television documentaries. A disruptive influence in school, Mike's first break in narration came at age six, when his teacher realized he could tell the afternoon story better than her (and she could get a nap by way of a bonus). When he's not in his home studio, you'll find him enjoying hobby farm life and tending to two charming pet goats, named Baxter and Hazel.
