Luke O'Neill is Professor of Biochemistry in the School of Biochemistry and Immunology at Trinity College Dublin.

He has a popular weekly slot on Newstalk's Pat Kenny Show where he specialises in expertly delivering answers to the most complex questions in science in his uniquely hilarious manner. Ruairi Conaghan is an Irish actor with a wealth of experience. Some of Ruairi’s highlights in television and film include: Downton Abbey, The Suspicions of Mr Whicher, Waking the Dead and Silent Witness. He has performed in the West End, Off Broadway, The National Theatre, The Royal Court and most major theatres inside and outside of London. Ruairi’s audiobook narrations include Her Last Goodnight by Michael Scanlon and Wild Shores by Richard Nairn.

Reviews

‘A man who can explain 4.2 billion years of life on Earth and make me laugh at the same time – sheer genius.’
*Pat Kenny, Newstalk*

'Narrator Ruairi Conaghan has unflappable charisma and dry wit to spare – he's that professor you wish you'd had in college.'
