Chris Morris works for the Science and Technology Facilities Council. He leads a scattered team developing a laboratory management system for molecular biologists. He says that some time ago he realised that coding wasn't the hardest part of delivering software that people want to use.

We're holding the event in the Atlas suite in the Kilburn building. To find us, walk down the right (south) side of the Kilburn building (to the right of the metal steps) until you reach the goods entrance. The porter at the desk will open the door for you. There will then be signs to the Atlas Suite, which is upstairs. We'd like to thank the University for making their facilities available to us for this event.
