Dr Jonathan Hare achieved a first in Physics at Surrey University and then went on to work with Sir Harry Kroto for his PhD at Sussex University. Here he was part of the Nobel Prize winning team that discovered a way of making the Fullerenes and in particular the football molecule C60, Buckminsterfullerene. He attended the 1996 Nobel prize ceremony in Stockholm with Sir Harry Kroto.
Responding to requests to give science talks about these new areas of nanotechnology, in the 1990's he set up The Creative Science center through which he has presented 100 of talks and workshops a year over a wide range of topics and age ranges throughout the UK and abroad. He has authored, or co-authored over 150 articles and scientific papers. Jonathan has presented at science conferences, science festivals and also summer schools both here and in the USA. For the last ten years he has devised and presented a month of workshops for the Brighton Science Festival all around Sussex (co-presenting with the festivals creator Richard Robinson).
Jonathan has presented two Hollywood Science and six Rough Science BBC TV series as well as contributing to Horizon, Nova and COAST TV series as well as many TV and radio interviews. The Rough Science series have been shown in over 90 counties around the world!
Jonathan is happy presenting to small groups, (e.g. perhaps tutoring an individual person) or to large groups (e.g. talks for over 800 people at the Institute of Education) and enjoys the challenge of communicating science to almost any type of audience. In addition to his academic achievements and work, Jonathan loves making things in his home workshop as well as juggling, painting, mountain hiking and longboarding.
