Mark Henderson's 'day job' is as head of communications for the Welcome Trust, but he is rapidly becoming better known for advocacy of the better use of scientific knowledge in public policy-making. In his best-selling "The Geek Manifesto" he sets out passionately the case for 'science in policy' and the critique of why it currently tends to get sideline. The most famous 'factoid' from his book is that only one of our current 650 MPs is a scientist – a 'meme' that has already spread far and wide.
