Erinma Ochu
Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellow, Life Sciences, Manchester
What if a whole city came together to reimagine its future? Mass collaboration, mass participation, citizen-led innovation are my passions.
I am currently exploring the cultural value of citizen science and interactive storytelling through a Wellcome Trust Engagement Fellowship and collaborations on research network initiatives, Communities & Cultures Network+ and HeRC.
Trained orginially as a neuroscientist, my diverse career includes five years working in the film, tv and cultural sector and another five years on citizen-led initiatives including: Manchester Beacon, Turing's Sunflowers and Catalyst, a Lancaster University-led initiative exploring how technology can support citizen-led social innovation.
I blog about everyoneandeverything and seasonal food. As co-founder of creative social enterprise, Squirrel Nation, I make movies to imagine alternative futures.
