Dr Alice Roberts
Alice Roberts studied medicine and anatomy (MB BCh BSc) at Cardiff University, qualifying in 1997. Alice worked as a junior doctor in South Wales, before becoming a lecturer at Bristol University, where she taught anatomy on the medical course for over ten years. She also pursued research in biological or physical anthropology, looking at what ancient skeletons can tell us about human evolution, the diversity of the human species, and about diseases that have affected us over time. Her research led to a PhD in palaeopathology (the study of disease in ancient human remains).
Alice's television debut came as a human bone specialist on Channel 4’s Time Team, in 2001. She went on to become a science presenter for various projects on BBC2, focusing on her expertise and passion for science, medicine and anthropology. As well as being part of the original presenting team on BBC2's Coast, she has fronted several series and programmes, including Don't Die Young, The Incredible Human Journey, Wild Swimming, and Digging for Britain. In early 2011, she presented a Horizon programme, examining the question 'Are we still evolving?'. She has just finished filming a series on human evolutionary anatomy, Origins of Us, which will be shown on BBC2 this Autumn.
